[Jamiga-developers] Native method How-To / Testing

[Peter W. <pe...@we...>]

Hello JAmigans,

two things are currently on my mind about the JAmiga project. I am
quite interested in getting your feedback on these...


1) Native method How-To

I am currently compiling a document that describes how to implement
native methods for JAmiga. As JAmiga currently does not support JNI, a
different approach had to be made for native methods.

This document will give you an overview on how to write the
supplementary C++-classes and how to integrate them into the VM. That
way we should be able to better distribute jobs amongst us and somebody
may actually already start working on a couple of AWT-classes.

I'll post the document on the sourceforge - site when it is ready
(which should still be a few days as I have other things to do first
:-) ) - I'll send out another mail when it is available...


2) Bug-Testing, etc. 

I have seen that nobody so far has downloaded the latest release xxx.6
which should be doing multithreading just fine. HOWEVER, it (multiple
threads) still won't work with sockets for me. I really need your input
if it fails for you as well. Also: Please look at the code (especially
Socket.cpp) if you can find a reason for the problem. It doesn't make
much sense starting anything with GUI before we haven't got threading
working correctly, as GUI will most certainly require threading!


Regards,

Peter Werno
