[Bug java/16843] New: gcjh generated headers don't define final constants

["mark at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Some JNI header generators like kaffeh output C #defines for final static
(primitive and String) fields. gcjh doesn't do this.

The output of running kaffeh on the following class:

public class T extends Thread
{
  public static final String Hello = "World";
  public static final float f = 1.4f;
  public static final double d = Math.PI;
}

gets you the following defines in T.h:

#define T_MIN_PRIORITY 1
#define T_NORM_PRIORITY 5
#define T_MAX_PRIORITY 10
#define T_Hello "World"
#define T_f 1.4000000e+00
#define T_d 8.6191995128153828e+97

Note that some of these constants come from the super class.
Also note that the float and double results look like bugs in kaffeh.

Unfortunately I cannot find the specification that defines this behaviour.
