One thing: this may have an impact on the reflection data in a
compiled file. What are our rules about maintaining backwards binary
compatibility? Do we need to make libgcj compatible with java
binaries compiled with an earlier compiler?
In my opinion: Not yet. I don't think we're ready for a stable ABI.
For example, I'd like to a more more compact and shared-library-friendly
meta-data format (i.e. something that needs many fewer relocations).
Another project that will break ocmpatibility: I'm looking into
getting rid of the Java exception handling personality routine, just
using the C++ personality routine instead, and adding C++ type_info
objects.
