Re: Converting GCC to compilation with C++

I would say I'm still a couple months away from putting gcjx on a

Oh dear. Gcjx gives me an excuse to procastinate about supporting
--enable-mapped-location for Java. Unfortunately, it not just a
question of adding code to use line-maps - it also involves getting
rid a lot of the old code, including EXPR_WITH_FILE_LOCATION.
We may end up having to decide between 3 Java front-ends:
(1) the existing C-based front-end;
(2) Tom's gcjx, written in C++; or
(3) Eclipse's ecj (?), written in Java. (The obvious advantage
is that they've implemented a lot of the JDK 1.5 (now Java 5) support.
But integrating a front-end written in Java will not be easy, either.)
So I don't know how much effort to put into --enable-mapped-location
handing for jc1!
