If a compiled version of a class -is not found in the application binary or linked shared libraries, the -class loader will search for a bytecode version in the CLASSPATH and execute -it using the interpreter. A new front end that behaves like the traditional -`java' command is also provided: `gij'. - -* Support for specifying java system properties. Properties can either be set -at runtime via the GCJ_PROPERTIES environment variable in the format -"<name>=<value> ..."'; or can be compiled into an application binary using --D<name>=<value>. - -* Support for setjmp/longjmp (sjlj) exception handling has been added, as an -alternative to the existing range-table based mechanism. sjlj is the default -on non-sparc, non-x86 targets, or can be specified with the -`--enable-sjlj-exceptions' configure parameter. - -* Complete JDK 1.1 reflection support, including invocation. - -* Throwable.printStackTrace() has been implemented. - -* Runtime.loadLibrary() has been implemented. - -* Class.forName() will now try to load a series of shared objects in order -to find the requested class. If a class `gnu.quux.whatever' is requested, -libgcj will search the system shared library path (eg LD_LIBRARY_PATH) for -`gnu-quux-whatever.so', then `gnu-quux.so', and finally `gnu.so'. - -* A pure-java implementation of java.math.BigInteger. - -New in libgcj 2.95: - -* First public release |
