Thanks! That's some good news.
The Debian kaffe package is compiled with unix-jthreads, but gtk (java-gnome) needs pthread support. When you recompile kaffe configured --with-threads=unix-pthreads then you can play with bugwatcher like you can with gij. (Thread system unix-pthread is also needed to run e.g. Eclipse with swt/gtk bindings). What do the kaffe developers think. Should kaffe default to pthreads onsystems that support it?
Yeah, seems like that would make sense. Especially as one doesn't have to deal with figuring out SP_OFFSET and FP_OFFSET, which seems to be quite tricky on arm-linux, for example.
Tim, what's your take on this? I've seen that JanosVM 1.0 includes a new threading system, jthreads2, would it make sense to merge it in, and use it instead of jthreads where possible?
cheers, dalibor topic
