From: jdoyle AT sarnoff DOT com (JAMES DOYLE) Subject: JNI functions under g++ 24 Oct 1998 07:47:51 -0700 Message-ID: <3631355A.DCE4952.cygnus.gnu-win32@sarnoff.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Gnu Win32 Mailing List Hi, I've been using Gnu tools for years, but only recently needed to use them under Win32. The reason I wanted to try using the Win32 port is that I'm having mystifying problems under Microsoft Visual C++. I've been able to use VC++ in the past to do JNI functions where I use malloc/free, but recently I've needed to access C++ libraries that use new/delete, and under VC++ this is causing me problems. Since things run fine on Solaris with g++, I figured I'd try g++ on Windows. But, as Kiyoko Aoki and Andrew Mickish have noted (re: B19 dll with JNI causing Dr. Watson, October 19), doing C++ memory allocations doesn't work under GnuWin32 either. My DLL fails the first time it tries to call new(). I just thought I'd let Kiyoko and Andrew (and other JNI people out there) know there's another data point indicating trouble with JNI and memory allocation. Also, I thought you'd be interested to know that MSVC++ has trouble with JNI and memory allocation, too. I've posted to comp.lang.java.programmer asking if JNI programmers in general have been able to work with C++ allocation on Windows.
