[Ikvm-developers] 0.42.0.3 under mono

[Zoltan V. <va...@gm...>]

Hi,

  IKVM 0.42.0.3 currently fails to build its class libs under linux, it
aborts with this message:

****** Critical Failure: Exception during finishing of:
com.sun.corba.se.impl.activation.ListORBs ******

PLEASE FILE A BUG REPORT FOR IKVM.NET WHEN YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE

System.InvalidOperationException: Non recursive try blocks is broken
  at Compiler..ctor (IKVM.Internal.FinishContext context,
IKVM.Internal.DynamicTypeWrapper clazz, IKVM.Internal.MethodWrapper mw,
IKVM.Internal.ClassFile classFile, IKVM.Internal.Method m,
IKVM.Internal.CodeEmitter ilGenerator, IKVM.Internal.ClassLoaderWrapper
classLoader, ISymbolDocumentWriter symboldocument,
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2 invokespecialstubcache) [0x00000] in
<filename unknown>:0

I tracked this down to the ExceptionSorter class, whose Compare method never
returns 0, even if the two entries are equal. This
trips up mono's Array.Sort () implementation.

An unrelated issue: are there any plans to use openjdk's java.util.zip
implementation in ikvm instead of classpath's ? The latter has
a bug which prevents ikvm from running jgit:
