This function allows you to call native code such that any
SIGSEGV/SIGBUS/SIGFPE/EXC_ACCESS_VIOLATION/etc. raised by that code is
transformed into a Java exception and thrown by tryNative. Note that
this effectively results in a longjmp out of whatever function raised
the exception, so any C++ destructors or other cleanup code will not
be run.
The intent of this target is to run our test suite against the installed jre.
This should help prevent our VM from diverging in implementation from the jdk.
The remainder of this commit fixes the problems that this exposes.
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.
