[Sablevm-developer] Another small step on powerpc

[Mark W. <ma...@kl...>]

Hi,

I can now run Hello World out of the box without patching
FileIn/Outputstream and from the normal user classpath
(including from jar files)!

The problem is in native.c (and clearly marked as such...)

       case SVM_TYPE_BOOLEAN:
 	{
 	  /* don't forget about little/big endian alignment */
-	  params[0].jint = *((jboolean *) &result[0]);
+          if (&result[0] == 0)

+          else
+            params[0].jint = 1;
 	  frame->stack_size++;
 	}

There are more places in that file that seem to need adaption for
powerpc but this one fixed the FileDescriptor problem I was seeing.

Cheers,

Mark
