Re: [xmlvm-users] Using categories vs. encapsulation in Objective-C compat-lib

[Paul P. <bay...@gm...>]

Thanks for the info Panayotis.  I'm disappointed to hear associative
references don't work in the simulator.
To me, that means it's not a viable option for XMLVM, since using them would
stop allowing XMLVM to operate in the simulator entirely.

I will be sending out a somewhat lengthy email later with Java source code
included discussing changes around "@synchronized" so that I can implement
wait(), wait(long), notify() & notifyAll().  Unfortunately, it requires a
solution such as associative references that is more universal.  I'll
probably have to find an alternate solution to adding member variables to
java_lang_Object.

Thanks!
