| aoqi@0 | 2 | |
| aoqi@0 | 3 | This directory contains a program for comparing the output of new javah against the |
| aoqi@0 | 4 | output of JDK 6 or other older versions of javah. |
| aoqi@0 | 5 | |
| aoqi@0 | 6 | It cannot be run automatically because of the need for the older version of javah |
| aoqi@0 | 7 | to compare against. |
| aoqi@0 | 8 | |
| aoqi@0 | 9 | The test works by scanning a jar file, such as rt.jar, looking for all files with |
| aoqi@0 | 10 | native methods. It then runs both the old and new versions of javah on those |
| aoqi@0 | 11 | classes with native methods, and verifies that the results are character-for-character |
| aoqi@0 | 12 | identical. |
| aoqi@0 | 13 | |
| aoqi@0 | 14 | To run the test, build langtools, then execute the script in the root langtools |
| aoqi@0 | 15 | directory, providing the location of the JDK to be tested. The default is |
| aoqi@0 | 16 | /opt/jdk/1.6.0. |
