I did manage to get it compiled, but I lost interest quickly because it
did not seem to be very reliable.

after hours of not noticing one of my variables was a list and not a
string (it's 5am I've been on this since 10pm!) I eventually got to
this sorry state.

in good ol' plan9

cpu% t=(1 2 3 6 7)
cpu% echo $#t
5
cpu% echo $"t
1 2 3 6 7

in /usr/local/bin/rc (ver 1.6) on FreeBSD (ver 4.2-RELEASE)

; t=(1 2 3 6 7)
; echo $#t
5
; echo $"t
syntax error


just fyi

Hope I didn't give the impression I was criticising Kaffe in general.
My testing was limited to running the Sun JDK compiler using the Kaffe
JVM; I found it crashed on some of the Java programs I needed to
compile.

The Plan 9 port was based on a 1998 Kaffe release.  I expect a new
version based on the current Kaffe would be more reliable.  The README
for the existing port says it took a team of Finnish undergraduates
about eight months.

sounds like they've committed the odd gaffe.

Heh, reminds me of another Java experience.
When Java was first announced, and Sun released
a beta version of their Java VM, I grabbed a copy
intending to port it to Plan 9 (yes, this was years
ago).

I quickly lost interest when I looked at the source code.

Hi,
did anybody try to compile & run Kaffe 0.9.2 ?
http://www.hut.fi/~tikonen/plan9/kaffe-plan9.tar.Z
no binaries included, although stated so, and mk reports errors.

Peter.
