We were not properly converting dots to slashes internally for package names
and we did not properly handle Method.getAnnotations and
Method.getAnnotation(Class<T>) on methods without any annotations.
Added some tests to cover these cases.
Internally, the VM augments the method tables for abstract classes
with any inherited abstract methods to make code simpler elsewhere,
but that means we can't use that table to construct the result of
Class.getDeclaredMethods since it would include methods not actually
declared in the class. This commit ensures that we preserve and use
the original, un-augmented table for that purpose.
The result of Class.getInterfaces should not include interfaces
declared to be implemented/extended by superclasses/superinterfaces,
only those declared by the class itself. This is important because it
influences how java.io.ObjectStreamClass calculates serial version
IDs.
OpenJDK's java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource makes use of
sun.misc.Launcher to load bootstrap resources, which is not
appropriate for the Avian build, so we override it to ensure we get
the behavior we want.
The main changes here are:
* fixes for runtime annotation support
* proper support for runtime generic type introspection
* throw NoClassDefFoundErrors instead of ClassNotFoundExceptions
where appropriate
This commit ensures that we use the proper memory barriers or locking
necessary to preserve volatile semantics for such fields when accessed
or updated via JNI.
Unlike the interpreter, the JIT compiler tries to resolve all the
symbols referenced by a method when compiling that method. However,
this can backfire if a symbol cannot be resolved: we end up throwing
an e.g. NoClassDefFoundError for code which may never be executed.
This is particularly troublesome for code which supports multiple
APIs, choosing one at runtime.
The solution is to defer to stub code for symbols which can't be
resolved at JIT compile time. Such a stub will try again at runtime
to resolve the needed symbol and throw an appropriate error if it
still can't be found.
This test covers the case where a local stack slot is first used to
store an object reference and later to store a subroutine return
address. Unfortunately, this confuses the VM's stack mapping code;
I'll be working on a fix for that next.
The new test requires generating bytecode from scratch, since there's
no reliable way to get javac to generate the code we want. Since we
already had primitive bytecode construction code in Proxy.java, I
factored it out so we can reuse it in Subroutine.java.
The main change here is to use a lazily-populated vector to associate
runtime data with classes instead of referencing them directly from
the class which requires updating immutable references in the heap
image. The other changes employ other strategies to avoid trying to
update immutable references.
The biggest change in this commit is to split the system classloader
into two: one for boot classes (e.g. java.lang.*) and another for
application classes. This is necessary to make OpenJDK's security
checks happy.
The rest of the changes include bugfixes and additional JVM method
implementations in classpath-openjdk.cpp.
Whereas the GNU Classpath port used the strategy of patching Classpath
with core classes from Avian so as to minimize changes to the VM, this
port uses the opposite strategy: abstract and isolate
classpath-specific features in the VM similar to how we abstract away
platform-specific features in system.h. This allows us to use an
unmodified copy of OpenJDK's class library, including its core classes
and augmented by a few VM-specific classes in the "avian" package.
In order to facilitate making the VM compatible with multiple class
libraries, it's useful to separate the VM-specific representation of
these classes from the library implementations. This commit
introduces VMClass, VMField, and VMMethod for that purpose.
In PersistentSet.remove, we were modifying the child node in place
instead of making a copy to update, which would corrupt older
revisions. This commit ensures that we always create a copy if
necessary.
