JDK-6363396 - JDK1_1InitArgs no longer supported (doc change)
Description
Name: nl37777			Date: 04/13/2004

The JNI 1.5 specification at 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jni/spec/invocation.html 
discusses at length the JDK1_1InitArgs struct and its use in 
initializing the JVM. Looking at the hotspot source code, it seems this 
struct is no longer supported. The code in JNI_GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs 
looks at the version field and returns an error if it doesn't indicate 
at least version 1.2, i.e., that it's really a JavaVMInitArgs. 
JNI_CreateJavaVM simply casts the corresponding parameter value to a 
JavaVMInitArgs.

I'd suggest rewriting the specs to remove all references to 
JDK1_1InitArgs and its use, and officially change the type of the third 
argument of JNI_CreateJavaVM to JavaVMInitArgs*. Calls to 
JNI_GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs now also seem optional; it may be useful 
to document this as well.

EVALUATION ###@###.### 2004-04-21 The declaration of JDK1_1InitArgs should be removed from jni.h as soon as possible. (I raised the priority.) A cast operation in jni.cpp needs to change as a result. Will make the spec/code change in Mustang. ###@###.### 2004-05-04
