| Line | |
|---|
| 1 | New in libgcj X.XX: |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | * libgcj now includes a bytecode interpreter. If a compiled version of a class |
|---|
| 4 | is not found in the application binary or linked shared libraries, the |
|---|
| 5 | class loader will search for a bytecode version in the CLASSPATH and execute |
|---|
| 6 | it using the interpreter. A new front end that behaves like the traditional |
|---|
| 7 | `java' command is also provided: `gij'. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | * Support for specifying java system properties. Properties can either be set |
|---|
| 10 | at runtime via the GCJ_PROPERTIES environment variable in the format |
|---|
| 11 | "<name>=<value> ..."'; or can be compiled into an application binary using |
|---|
| 12 | -D<name>=<value>. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | * Support for setjmp/longjmp (sjlj) exception handling has been added, as an |
|---|
| 15 | alternative to the existing range-table based mechanism. sjlj is the default |
|---|
| 16 | on non-sparc, non-x86 targets, or can be specified with the |
|---|
| 17 | `--enable-sjlj-exceptions' configure parameter. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | * Complete JDK 1.1 reflection support, including invocation. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | * Throwable.printStackTrace() has been implemented. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | * Runtime.loadLibrary() has been implemented. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | * Class.forName() will now try to load a series of shared objects in order |
|---|
| 26 | to find the requested class. If a class `gnu.quux.whatever' is requested, |
|---|
| 27 | libgcj will search the system shared library path (eg LD_LIBRARY_PATH) for |
|---|
| 28 | `gnu-quux-whatever.so', then `gnu-quux.so', and finally `gnu.so'. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | * A pure-java implementation of java.math.BigInteger. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | New in libgcj 2.95: |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | * First public release |
