Well I now have exceptions working ... kind of ... actually there
appears to be a bug in the Dwarf2 exception code somewhere (not Java
specific since I can generate it with C++ too). But you can at least
throw exceptions in GCJ code and catch then in JIT code.
Most other functions a filled in - I need to check out interfaces next -
then I'm pretty much done.
There are a few outstanding issues:
1. JIT v. GCJ code - should it be possible for GCJ code to call JIT code
- this isn't easy at the moment.
GCJ appears to support some form of symbolic information rather than
absolute addresses but
this doesn't work yet and may never do everything needed.
2. Native functions - are assumed to be C/C++ binding styles. I'll
probably defer binding in some
way here.
Perhaps I should look at rewriting the ELF dynamic linker .... ?
Cheers
Tim
