[xmlvm-dev] C backend issues

[Domenico De F. <dom...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I finally decided to make the big jump to the C backend. After a few
attempts, I managed to compile my project without errors.
In order to do this, I had to write a skeleton for the class
UITableViewController. I must say, I found the C backend is painfully
unreadable and it took me some
time to understand how to manipulate it. I hope however it will get better
with time as I get used to it.
Now as I try to run the Xcode project, I obtain the following error:

XMLVM Error: Unsatisfied red class dependency:
(java_util_TimeZone___INIT___):(path to the application
source)/java_util_TimeZone.m:805

Does it mean that the class TimeZone needs some other class which is in the
red list? Or that it misses that constructor?

I'm not sure I understood from the slides how to remove classes from the red
list. Should I retrieve the class TimeZone from the
Harmony distribution and insert it into the src/xmlvm2c/lib/proxies?
I also see that there already is a native_java_lang_TimeZone.c class in the
src/xmlvm2c/lib/proxies folder; should I use that one and implement the
missing method?

I'm sorry about all the questions, but I don't find the passage from the
Objective-C backend really natural.

Thank your for your attention
