------- Additional Comments From mckinlay at redhat dot com 2005-07-11 15:44 ------- There might be a way to implement this without additional _Jv_AllocObject cost and without adding new ABI tables.
If abstract classes and interfaces were given a zero or negative value in their size field, I think the GC will call GC_oom_fn if an attempt were made to allocate them. We could then throw InstantiationException instead of OutOfMemoryError in this case. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22377
