5 I have been working on SquirrelJME throughout the day, so that is not bad.
6 Right now my current hurdle is `invokespecial`, which is a bit complex.
10 Using deduction to determine how to handle `invokespecial`. Okay so since
11 Java 1.1 (released 02/1997) the compiler always set `SUPER`, so the method
12 that is directly specified is never called it instead uses the alternative
13 lookup. So let me see when J2ME came out.
17 JSR030 is 05/2000, drafted in 08/1999. This means the latest Java release at
18 the time was Java 1.2 which was released 12/1998. Also the _J2_ in _J2ME_
19 stands for Java 2, which is Java 1.2. So I think at this point, if the super
20 flag is not set then it sucks to be you.
24 Looking through the ancient specification, `main` is handled and used so
25 that is something. At least now I have actual backing for it.
29 Confirmed that CLDC 1.0 uses a Java 1.2 VM.
33 Okay so from this point, I am going to declare that `SUPER` is always set no
38 I am definitely going to need a refactor of the thread worker because it is
43 Huh, for some reason `Object` cannot have final fields and they cannot be
44 assigned a value in the compiler at all.
48 The compiler does not allow final fields to be set for `Object` in its
49 constructor. In fact if final fields are initialized at run-time the compiler
50 does not generate any code for the constructor. So I will need to remember
51 this interesting detail.
