Current unsynced patches between kaffe and GNU Classpath

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi all,

I resynced Kaffe from GNU Classpath today, so I created a list of
differences, that should be helpful in deciding what to merge back into
GNU Classpath.

a) gnu/java/io/EncodingManager.java

        Ito's fixes for the Classpath encoding manager to use Kaffe's libiconv
based setup. See
http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2004-January/045038.html

        2004-01-30  Ito Kazumitsu <address@hidden>

        * libraries/javalib/gnu/java/io/EncodingManager.java:
        Don't use static initializers because it causes stack overflow.

        2004-01-19  Ito Kazumitsu <address@hidden>

        * kaffe/libraries/javalib/gnu/java/io/EncodingManager.java:
        Copied froGNClasspath and modified for use with kaffe.

b) gnu/java/locale/LocaleInformation_en.java,
gnu/java/locales/LocaleInformation_nl.java

        Small single line differences.

        2004-01-11  Guilhem Lavaux <address@hidden>

        * libraries/javalib/gnu/java/locale/LocaleInformation_en.java,
        libraries/javalib/gnu/java/locales/LocaleInformation_nl.java:
Updated
        date symbols.

c) gnu/java/net/protocol/file/Handler.java

        We are using the file handler from gcj, afaik. That explains the huge 
diff.

d) gnu/java/nio/SelectorImpl.java, gnu/java/nio/FileLockImpl.java

        Trivial differences due to different names of native libraries. Using a
runtime dependant VMLibNames interface of public static final Strings
would be a simple way to solve this for all VMs.

e) java/awt/Color.java

        Differences since Color needs to interface with Kaffe's own AWT
implementation.

f) java/beans/BeanDescriptor.java

        Should be merged into GNU Classpath.

        2004-01-22  Mark Wielaard  <address@hidden>

        Fix for Maven 1.0-rc1.

        * libraries/javalib/java/beans/BeanDescriptor.java
        (BeanDescriptor): Set the FeatureDescriptor programmatic name.

g) java/io/BufferedInputStream.java

        Fix for Azureus bit torrent client. It wants to mark(Integer.MAX_VALUE)
on a stream, so instead of increasing the buffer to the mark size
instantly, we increase the buffer as necessary.

        2004-03-06  Guilhem Lavaux <address@hidden>

        * libraries/javalib/java/io/BufferedInputStream.java
        (mark, refill) Make an incremental mark buffer allocation.
        New field marktarget, CHUNKSIZE.

h) java/io/File.java

        Native library naming differences. Kaffe also has a  File(URI uri),
toURI and a delete on Exit implementation, that could go into GNU
Classpath. There is also a difference in the  File(File directory,
String name) constructor that Guilhem may be more familiar with.

i) java/io/FileDescriptor.java,
java/io/ObjectInputStream.java,
java/io/ObjectOutputStream.java,
java/nio/channels/FileChannelImpl.java,
java/nio/ByteOrder.java,
java/nio/DirectByteBufferImpl.java,
java/util/TimeZone.java

        Native library naming differences.

j) java/io/ObjectStreamClass.java

        Some security provider weirdness.

k) java/lang/Boolean.java
java/lang/Character.java
java/lang/reflect/Proxy.java

        Kaffe doesn't use VMClassLoader interface from GNU Classpath yet.

l) java/net/InetAddress.java
java/net/InetSocketAddress.java

        Various patches by Guilhem

m) java/text/DecimalFormatSymbols.java

        Small typo correction.

n) java/text/AttributedString.java

        Small fix for FOP

o) java/text/DecimalFormat.java,
java/text/FormatCharacterIterator.java,
java/text/MessageFormat.java,
java/text/SimpleDateFormat.java,

        Various patches by Guilhem

That's about it. I'll check in some small stuff (n, m, g, f). The text 
changes should be synchronized between Michael Koch and Guilhem, the 
networking changes may need more work before they are ready for GNU 
Classpath.

cheers,
