With the tremendous help of Grégoire Henry, we've come up to a fixed
version of CamlJava that:
- works well with recent JVMs (both Sun's 1.6 and OpenJDK)
* fixes are both for building and for avoiding segfaults due to a
distinction among local and global references introduced by JNI 1.6
- is a bit more debugger friendly
- has _conditional_ automatic mapping of Java strings to OCaml strings
(needed by O'Jacare [1])
- is a bit more careful/strict in case of multithreading: you must
ensure all Java-OCaml callbacks are called from the very same thread
(need spotted by O'Jacare a while ago)
- fixes various minor issues that help packages
All patches are available at [2] and contain appropriate
descriptions.
The patches are integrated in the Debian package of CamlJava that I've
just uploaded to the archive. While the package gets processed for
copyright review, it is also available at:
deb http://people.debian.org/~zack/debian zack-unstable/
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~zack/debian zack-unstable/
Xavier: can you please consider integrating the above patches in a new
release of CamlJava?
AFAIK, a new release of O'Jacare based on the above work is being worked
on by Grégoire.
Cheers.
