Yup - got that part already.  I just wanted to make sure i wasn't
missing something in the way fields were declared.

More questions along the same topic: has _Jv_AllocBytes been deprecated
or something?  It appears in the doco at
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/papers/cni/t1308.html
and
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcj/Object-allocation.html#Object%20allocation
but when i try to use it it is not defined.

(I'm also not sure which one of the above doco links i should be working
from.  I'm using gcc 3.3.1 on Red Hat Linux 9.)

Also, assuming _Jv_AllocBytes() is still the right thing to use, does it
return zeroed memory?

Thanks again,
Paul
