[Sablevm-developer] Bug#242330: sablevm: fails to run JNI library

[Etienne G. <gag...@uq...>]

Package: sablevm
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: normal

The "upstream" sablevm version works, but not the debian version.
See below.

### upstream ###

$ ~/work/bin/sablevm -Y JNITest
value = 47
$ ~/work/bin/sablevm -V JNITest 
SableVM version staging+1942
- compile date and time: 2004-04-05 23:45:04 UTC
- gcc version: 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)
- signal based exception detection
- copying garbage collection
- bidirectional object layout
- inline-threaded interpreter

### Debian ###

$ sablevm -Y JNITest 
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at JNITest.testPtr (JNITest.java)
   at JNITest.main (JNITest.java:11)
   at java.lang.VirtualMachine.invokeMain (VirtualMachine.java)
   at java.lang.VirtualMachine.main (VirtualMachine.java:88)
$ sablevm -V JNITest 
SableVM version 1.1.1
- compile date and time: 2004-03-21 05:36:38 UTC
- gcc version: 3.3.3 (Debian 20040306)
- 'real life brokenness' features enabled
- signal based exception detection
- copying garbage collection
- bidirectional object layout
- inline-threaded interpreter

Should the test code be attached to a bug report?  If yes, please
grab the code at:

http://www.info.uqam.ca/~egagnon/jnitest/

you compile it with:
$ jikes JNITest.java
$ gcc -Wall -pedantic -O3 -shared -o libtest.o libtest.c


FYI: The broken behavior shows under both x86 and ppc.

Thanks,

Etienne
