[Bug libgcj/26063] memory leak in _Jv_Linker::link_symbol_table

["thebohemian at gmx dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

------- Comment #2 from thebohemian at gmx dot net  2006-02-01 16:52 -------
Added aph to get some ideas on how to solve this.

Some ideas:
The code that uses the ffi structure is so complicated because it is neccessary
to prepare a call that takes one argument (a class name). I plan to put setup
code into a separate method because I saw another location where this behavior
is needed (link.cc around line 1203).

Furthermore I was told that the ffi functions are not implemented on certain
architectures (eg ARM) and would cause compilation problems.

The new method would take this into account and provide a path with degraded
functionality: Do not create any ffi stuff and do not provide the name of the
missing class as argument.

I am a bit clueless on how to solve the memory leak thing and appreciate ideas
& pointers.
