TRUE / FALSE redefinition in gcj/javaprims.h

[Andreas Tobler]

Hello all,

and sorry for a second post, Rainer.

we have a problem with the following _HACK_ in gcj/javaprims.h:

// FIXME: this is a hack until we get a proper gcjh.
// It is needed to work around system header files that define TRUE
// and FALSE.
#undef TRUE
#define TRUE TRUE
#undef FALSE
#define FALSE FALSE

The ChangeLog entry dates back to:

1999-08-12  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

         * include/javaprims.h (TRUE, FALSE): Redefine as themselves.

And a search on the libjava-patches points to:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/1999-q3/msg00110.html

So, the question is, is this still an actual point? Is the gcjh fixed?

Removing this hack would make the build on HP-UX PA 32-bit pass.

I tested the removal on ppc-linux|darwin, sparc-solaris and 
hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11. Works.

If we have to live with this hack, we have to insert another hack to 
complete the HP-UX PA 32-bit port.

Opininons? Facts?

Thanks for the feedback.

Andreas
