Re: [Sablevm-developer] More on bootstrapping

Hi John,

> If I understand it correctly, you're now hardcoding the separator in your Runtime file?

The original Runtime file had a mix of hardcoded ':'s and
File.pathSeparatorChar. The use of File led to Runtime being re-entered
when it hadn't been statically initialised. To stop this I hardcoded the
pathSeparatorChar in Runtime.Runtime to ':'. I would like to use a
property to read the path seperator character but it's not obvious how
to without bootstrapping problems. One ugly solution would be to have a
native getPathSeperatorChar method. Anyhow, thoughts and comments
appreciated.
