There's more work to do to derive all the properties of a given class
from its code source (e.g. JAR file), but this at least ensures that
ClassLoader.getPackage will actually return something non-null when
appropriate.
classpath-common.h's getDeclaringClass was trying to look up
non-existing classes, which led to an abort, and I don't even know
what Class.getDeclaredClasses was trying to do, but it was ugly and
wrong.
An inner class has two sets of modifier flags: one is declared in the
usual place in the class file and the other is part of the
InnerClasses attribute. Not only is that redundant, but they can
contradict, and the VM can't just pick one and roll with it. Instead,
Class.getModifiers must return the InnerClasses version, whereas
reflection must check the top-level version. So even if
Class.getModifiers says the class is protected, it might still be
public for the purpose of reflection depending on what the
InnerClasses attribute says. Crazy? Yes.
Inner classes can have inner classes, but getDeclaredClasses() is
supposed to list *only* the immediate inner classes.
Example: if class Reflection contains a class Hello that contains
a class World, Reflection.class.getDeclaredClasses() must not
include World in its result.

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.
This mainly moves several sun.misc.Unsafe method implementations from
classpath-openjdk.cpp to builtin.cpp so that the Avian and Android
builds can use them.
It also replaces FinalizerReference.finalizeAllEnqueued with a no-op,
since the real implementations assumes too much about how the VM
handles (or delegates) finalization.
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.
Rather than try to support mixing Avian's core classes with those of
an external class library -- which necessitates adding a lot of stub
methods which throw UnsupportedOperationExceptions, among other
comprimises -- we're looking to support such external class libraries
in their unmodified forms. The latter strategy has already proven
successful with OpenJDK's class library. Thus, this commit removes
the stub methods, etc., which not only cleans up the code but avoids
misleading application developers as to what classes and methods
Avian's built-in class library supports.
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.
