Hopefully we can integrate a similar behavior into the XMLVM pipeline.


The 2 obstacles:

   1. The vtable entries are randomly ordered, so the files change
   unnecessarily causing recompile.  I just changed the
   VtableOutputProcess.java to order alphabetically & the problem solved.


Can you please commit this to the HEAD? This would also be useful to make
gen-c-wrapper deterministic.


   1. Adding/removing String constants causes the index number to change in
   other files, causing the other files to recompile unnecessarily.  Would that
   be easy to lock down index numbers in API classes?  I.e. give them the first
   numbers?


Good question. I had forgotten about the constant pool. Perhaps a similar
approach to what Markus suggested for the itables. I'll give it some
thought.
