DISCLAIMER: These notes are from the defunct k8 project which precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26! The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it.

Actually that plan would be insanely verbose and overcomplex, I am not going to want to use it myself. I am just going to go with a simple _L, _S, and _T. Which is sort of self explainable within previous context. I am also going to strip the locale setting and instead use the specified strings as emergency fallback, being locale-less. Also, all of them are going to be format capable since there is no reason to have multiple ones when the call signature is virtually the same anyway. If there are no arguments passed then a standard print could be used instead of Formatter, called branching yes.

Rather dazed, did not really do anything at all.

Localized options, copying and pasting really hurts on a QWERTY stretching my fingers over just to hit V. What I need is basically a tool provider which is similar to ToolProvider but for my own stuff instead. I just need a good name that is compatible and makes sense. Short too.

Awake for the most part.

Worked on a bunch of things, my goal today is to get all of this stuff compiling at least, regardless of any crashes that may occur running it. Right now I need to figure out inclusion of tagged dependencies that exist in a class file so that they become extra dependencies. Rough build might need some dependency pruning to keep things super simple. Seems there is a case where packages are not getting their dependencies recoursed into possibly. If I add a manual dependency in k8.x.tools for KToolService it works as expected. However, without it everything fails. I believe it has to do with the fact that packages are marked but their members are not. Making FileLoader add package depends will mean that I can remove that from TreePlacer and just doing only classes.

After changing how dependencies work, hairball now builds and runs, it hits a TODO in the localization code however.

Now that I have gotten to it, I need a better way to localize exceptions. It may be worth it, it might not be. While laying down thinking about it, I can use generics in the call to _T. The parameter would cast the return type but I would also have to pass the class of the exception. Although would increase pain slightly, it is the best way to go. Many of the exceptions have mixed and matched causes, some have causes later on. So figuring out which call to use is quite painful. I can reflect the exceptions instead and initialize them based on common arguments, while I just have a single argument set.

20:34

I decided to take an easier route for localized exceptions, there is increased typing bloat a bit however. Generic cannot be used with static imports. And since the name would have to be specified twice it would not be worth it adding "Localized." before it. So I just force a cast which seems to not emit any warnings. All I know is that GCJ emits too many warnings. What I need to do now is go through all my thrown exceptions and make it so that they are localizable.

22:19

Well, I would never have though I would be using reflection to throw exceptions. Very fun stuff here.

With this stack trace stuff, I could include the stack trace of RPC and system calls. So I could have a part of the trace saying "--- ENTER KERNEL ---" and "--- LEAVE KERNEL ---".
