Option to automatically generate missing exceptions and methods

[Øyvind Harboe <oyvind dot harboe at zylin dot com>]

Part of the problem of getting GCJ to work can sometimes
be that various classes and methods are not supported
in Classpath.

I've seen that Classpath contains empty methods/classes,
which allow programs to compile and link with GCJ, but 
simply throw a runtime exception if they are ever invoked.

It seems to me that instead of manually writing these stubs,
GCJ could automatically generate the empty classes/methods. 

Is there such an option?


The benefits of such an option would be several:

- No need to add stubs to libgcj/Classpath, unless they 
do something more than the compiler generated
- For some programs, the missing stubs are all that are missing
to get things up and running
- Although most programs would not work with the generated stubs,
it might still have some value for testing/debugging/prototyping
of GCJ and the app in question
