When calculating field offsets in the bootimage generator, we failed
to consider alignment at inheritence boundaries (i.e. the last field
inherited by from a superclass should be followed by enough padding to
align the first non-inherited field at a machine word boundary). This
led to a mismatch between native code and Java code in terms of class
layouts, including that of java.lang.reflect.Method.
Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
Timezone code was broken in the Android class library bootimage build
because the code we use to intercept loading the tzdata file wasn't
working. The reason is have no way of intercepting static methods at
runtime in the bootimage build without telling the bootimage-generator
we're going to do it ahead of time. So now we do tell it so.
This commit also removes the need to intercept Thread methods since we
can update Thread.vmThread in VMThread.create instead.
This is necessary to avoid name conflicts on various platforms. For
example, iOS has its own util.h, and Windows has a process.h. By
including our version as e.g. "avian/util.h", we avoid confusion with
the system version.
In type-generator, we were incorrectly calculating field offsets where
a class inherits from another class whose last field has a natural
alignment which is different from the native word size. Surprisingly,
this only popped up when I built using the Android class library on a
64-bit system.
