[Jikesrvm-researchers] Files and Streams in JikesRVM

[Eliot M. <mo...@cs...>]

Meiling: I wonder if you are trying to use your print stream either "too
early" or "too late", in the sense of "before the system is fully booted"
or "after it is starting to shutdown". Print streams shouild work fine
within ordinary application code, but are not a good choice in system code
without explicit checks that the system is in a state that support that
functionality (not "too early" or "too late").

This is why the VM.syswrite methods were developed -- but of course they
don't output to a file of your choosing (IIRC).

Hope this helps some .... Eliot
