- *** TBD for Jikes 1.13 release:
-
- Fix build under IRIX, it failed in
- 1.12 because of iconv prototype mismatch.
- Same goes for Red Hat 7.0.
- (FIXED)
-
- Include java.g file in tar ball.
- This was omitted in the 1.12 release.
- (FIXED)
-
- Add RPM spec file to the tar ball.
- This was omitted in the 1.12 release.
- (FIXED)
-
-
- Fix namespaces. People need
- to be able to compile on
- systems that require namespace
- support. Many versions of gcc
- have bugs that keep namespaces
- from working.
-
- ./configure HAVE_JIKES_NAMESPACE=1
-
- (FIXED)
-
-
- Use new casting operations instead of C style
- casts, need to add autoconf check too.
-
- Casting up from A to B will be checked if
- compiler support RTTI. This could catch
- nasty cast errors in Jikes.
-
- http://www.sns.ias.edu/Main/computing/compilers_html/c-plusplus/c++_ug/Cast.new.doc.html
-
- const_cast<int> 'c'
-
- same as
-
- (int) 'c'
-
- dynamic_cast<type>(ARG)
-
- A -> B
-
- B* bp = new B():
- A* ap = bp;
-
- assert( ap != NULL );
- B* bp2 = dynamic_cast<B*>(ap);
- assert( bp2 != NULL );
-
-
- (FIXED : still need to actually use them in #ifdefs)
-
-
-
-
- Manually generate a list of #include deps for
- each of the .c files in the src dir and include
- then in Makefile.am. We do not want to use
- the automatic depcomp feature of automake.
-
- (FIXED)
-
-
- The website needs to be made available as a CVS module.
- That will make changing and tracking changes far easier.
-
- (FIXED)
-
-
- Fix the problems with @files demonstrated by
- non-jls-argument-expansion tests in Jacks. This
- would be significantly easier if during input
- conversion, \r \r\n and \n where always converted
- into a single \n in the source code. This is
- currently implemented in LexStream but it needs
- to be done in a more general stream class not
- one that does lexing. That way, it could also
- be used in the Option class to process @ files.
-
- (FIXED, reverted since it caused other problems )
-
-
- Add new floating point emulation support code.
-
- (FIXED)
-
-
-
- Fix problems with double class use of
- static const, gcc 3.0 pukes unless
- there is an external def too.
-
- (FIXED)
-
-
-
-
- *** Things that will not be done in 1.13
-
-
-
- It is not clear if iconv is only a little
- broken or totally busted.
-
- More testing is needed to figure out
- if this is an endian issue. It works
- on an Intel box but fails on a Solaris
- Sparc so I think it is a byte order issue.
-
- http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19647
-
- While some iconv tests fail under Red Hat 6.2, they
- all fail on Red Hat 7.0, which is what this bug
- report is talking about.
-
- Also, would it be better to convert a bunch
- of chars in a buffer instead of doing them
- one at a time?
-
- Check into the problems discussed with the
- onceagain boolean. Could this blow up if
- we don't set ch? Also what if the
- ErrorDecode..() method return true but
- the earlier assign to ch returned 0,
- that would set ch to zero right? I
- don't think that is really what we
- would have wanted.
-
- (Will not fix in this release)
-
-
-
- Add a configure check to make sure
- folks do not attempt to build under
- Cygwin with the -mno-cygwin flag.
- (Will not fix in this release)
-
-
-
- Fix problem with debug line number tables. Newer
- versions of java don't like our line numbers.
- This is commonly known as "Jikes and JPDA".
-
-
-
- Add the src/m4 subdir contents to
- the .tar file.
-
- (Don't fix, people will not be
- able to regenerate a working
- ./configure with autoconf 2.13
- anyway, so this can be delayed)
-
-
-
- If a zip file can not be found,
- the error message printed should
- say that instead of saying it
- is "invalid" (implies it was corrupted).
-
- "D:\File\with\wrong\classpath\entry\rt.jar is not a valid zip file" (BAD)
-
- "D:\File\with\wrong\classpath\entry\rt.jar not found" (GOOD)
-
-
-
- *** TBD at some point:
-
- Add test cases for the typos in error.cpp that were fixed
- just before the 1.12 release. In fact, it would be nice if we
- could generate a test case for every error condition and
-
- test the compiler output.
-
- Check into the fix for bug 102, we reverted it because of
- crashes, but it would be nice to look into the fix again.
-
- Drop OLDCSO support from the compiler.
-
-
- Why does jikes treat the catching of exceptions
- that were not thrown in the try block as a
- warning condition. Should these not be errors?
-
-
-
- A misleading error from Jikes:
-
- % cat unicode_1.java
- public class unicode_1 {
- void check(int num, char val) {
- if (num != (int) val) {
- System.err.println("error: mismatch for " + num);
- }
- }
-
- public static void main(String[] argv) {
- check(0, '\u0000');
- check(0, '\u0001');
- }
- }
-
- Error from Javac:
-
- unicode_1.java:9: Can't make static reference to method void check(int, char) in class unicode_1.
- check(0, '\u0000');
- ^
- unicode_1.java:10: Can't make static reference to method void check(int, char) in class unicode_1.
- check(0, '\u0001');
- ^
- 2 errors
-
-
- Error from Jikes:
-
- Found 2 semantic errors compiling "unicode_1.java":
-
- 9. check(0, '
-
- 10. check(0, '`');
- <----------->
- *** Error: The method "check" does not denote a class method.
-
-
- Is it just me, or is this error message really misleading?
- The Sun error message seems a whole lot better.
