I'm the maintainer of JPackage project rhino package (see
jpackage.sourceforge.net). I just found two problems for building it (version
1.52 from cvs):
- the property src.debugger is badly initialised in toolsrc/build.xml. See
patch attached for correction. Moreover, this was a real pain to make offline
building possible. I guess it's a licensing problem that prevents you
including those files in rhino sources ?
- the produced javadoc has an empty (0 sized) package-list file. Have you got
any idea why ?

It would be nice if the rhino shell would accept a URL as the source
for javascript.
I've added this feature to my local copy so that I can launch rhino
with js scripts using JavaWebStart.

Hi Norris,
Attached are some (final?) changes to the debugger:
- Display NativeCall objects as "[object Call]" in this/locals tree-tables
- Fixed "Go to Function" to highlight the target function in the source
window
- Synchronized ContextListener implementation
- Added slightly more useful tooltips to the tool bar
Note I modified files from today's rhinoTip.zip. Hopefully they were
identical to those in the cvs release branch.

Rhino: deal with all Throwables in Interpreter.interpret

The attached patch modifies the catch code in Interpreter.interpret to

Error instance from Context.observeInstructionCount.

The patch linetable_patch changes InterpreterData.itsLineNumberTable
from Hahstable to UintHash and debug/DebuggableScript.java to return
int[] array instead of Enumeration. It was run produced via
diff -ru javascript.0 javascript
The patch debugger_patch contains update for

Rhino: patch not to store VariableTable in InterpreterData

From:

The patch removes the "VariableTable itsVariableTable" field from
InterpreterData so it would not be stored in
InterpretedFunction/InterpretedScript and could be garbage collected
after interpreter byte code generation is finished. The usage of
theData.itsVariableTable it Interpreter.interpret is replaced by
accessing argNames/argCount fields from the passed NativeFunction.
Bugfix to Rhino Debugger

Hi Norris,
Attached is a fix to a problem I encountered with the Rhino debugger.
Apparently some recent changes to the engine broke the debugger because
the debugger wasn't acquiring a Context before making certain engine
calls like ScriptableObject.getIds(). You can see this by stepping
through the "enum.js" example and expanding the variable "elements".
The below exception trace will be printed on the debugger console. The
attached file should fix this problem.

Hi Norris,
I modified this file to always call Context.toString() to display a
variable's value in the the tree table. Previously it only called it
for Scriptables and the toString() method of the object otherwise. This
caused for example JavaScript "2" to be displayed as "2.0".

Rhino: speed optimization in omj/Interpreter.java

Hi, Norris!
The attached Interpreter_patch contains a speed optimization patch that
tries to avoid creation of Double objects by keeping a parallel stack
for double values: instead of putting Double to the stack, DBL_MRK is
put and the real value is put to double stack (sDbl). Then when reading
stack with DBL_MRK, the double value from the double stack is used
wrapped to Double object when necessary. In addition local and vars
arrays are merged to stack array.
The attached before.txt and after.txt contain results of typical runs of
mozilla/js/benchmarks/all_bench.js before and after optimization on my
PC: Athlon 650/Red Hat 7.0/JDK 1.3.0 from Sun .
In number of cases the optimization actually slow down the executionby
5-10% (I guess due to the checks for DBL_MRK), but mostly it is a nice
sped up often by factor of 2 ot more with overall optimization win: 267
versus 218 seconds.
I guess it is possible to apply the same optimization to the optimizer
package, but in our browser we use strictly interpreter mode. Also by
changing signature of call/construct methods in Scriptable it is
possible to avoid creation of almost all objects currently allocated
during method calls, but that is for far future.
Regards, Igor
1. Keyword search via Java Hahstable is replaced by explicit "switch"
code generated by idswitch tool. It not only speed up keyword search and
eliminates all Integer objects created to hold keyword tokens and
corresponding Hahstable structures, but it also reduces code size due to
very poor array initialization support in JVM.
2. It replaces the isXDigit method by xDigitToInt that either converts
its argument to 0..15 or returns -1 if it is not a hex digit and updates
the method usage accordingly The patch updates NativeGlobal.js_unescape
to reflect this usage change.
-----
The patch changes NativeCall to use IdScriptable. This is done mostly
for uniformity with other Native* classes plus it would allow to call
NativeCall.init directly and make NativeCall package private.
-----
The patch changes NativeScript to use id-based properties. Due to
inheritance from NativeFunction, id support requires to take into
account the fact that there are instance ids available from
BaseFunction. This is the reason to use "int prototypeIdShift" instead
of "boolean prototypeFlag" so it can store instance id offset.
The patch updates ScriptRuntime.callOrNewSpecial to check against
IdFunction and not FunctionObject for the Script exec method where it
also add finally clause to make sure that Context.exit would always be
called after Context.enter in the evalScript method.
-----
After converting NativeScript and NativeFunction to use IdScriptable,
they get scope argument directly as a parameter of execMethod call, so
cx.ctorScope is not used any more. The patch removes code to set/unset
cx.ctorScope.
-----
[This patch depends on conversion of NativeScript and NativeCall to use
IdScriptable and the patch to remove access of ctorScope from
FunctionObject]
The patch changes Context.initStandardObjects to call NativeCall.init
and NativeScript.init directly plus it unrolls the lazily initialization
loop. Due to rather poor support of an array initialization in Java byte
code, it actually decreases code size while eliminating are creation of
array object. The patch also removes ctorScope field as unused.
-----
The patch makes sure that ids used by NativeGlobal are visible only in
the object instance that initializes global scope and removes some junk
white space at line ends.
-----
To use the idswitch tool to generate map for strings that can not be
part of Id_ Java identifier like $*, I added code to the tool to look
for "// #string=...#" in the id definition line. The attached README
file also contains some documentation about the tool and should go to
idswitch directory.
The patch was made from toolsrc/org/mozilla/javascript/tools via:
cvs diff -u > idswitch_patch
mozilla/js/rhino/org is now distributed between
mozilla/js/rhino/src and mozilla/js/rhino/toolsrc.
The build.xml has been split in three.
Docs now live in the project directory.
These changes mean that the cvs directories mirror the distribution and thus a distribution
will build the same way as a cvs build.

Hi Norris,
Attached is a minor fix to the JSDebugger GUI that causes the tool-bar buttons to all have the same width.
I checked out and modified a file from CVS today. See the screenshot below.
Cheers,
Chris
* fixed ImporterTopLevel constructor - it now calls
cx.initStandardObjects before defining any functions. The old
constructor is still around for backwards compatibility.

Kurt, Norris,
Yes, with the change to the shell this should be possible. The problem before
was that if you loaded the same file with different relative path names, two
different windows in the debugger were created because everything (windows,
breakpoints, etc) is keyed off the source name.
The attached file contains the fix (and includes the workaround for
Desktop.getSelectedFrame).
There are still some bugs in transferring focus between the windows in the
Desktop. I haven't had time to track down the problem or a solution.

Norris,
I've made some more changes to shell.Main and shell.Global in order to
reduce their mutual dependency, enable "quit" and get "load" to operate
in the local scope.
see attachments for updated .diffs.
