[jira] Created: (HARMONY-5556) [drlvm][class_support] make icu4c
dependency optional to reduce bundle size
[drlvm][class_support] make icu4c dependency optional to reduce bundle size
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HARMONY-5556
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5556
Project: Harmony
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: DRLVM
Reporter: Alexey Varlamov
Priority: Trivial
There is certain interest in application bundling with minimal size/working set; DRLVM can easily contribute here.
In particular, the most part in drlvm binaries take icu4c modules (~10 of 15 mb). Yet the main utilization of icu4c is highly optional, support for unicode identifiers in classfiles.
So the idea is, do not link to icu4c directly but bind it in runtime as optional feature.

[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-5556) [drlvm][class_support] make icu4c
dependency optional to reduce bundle size
Posted by "Mark Hindess (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12575694#action_12575694 ]
Mark Hindess commented on HARMONY-5556:
---------------------------------------
On Linux, it may be possible to replace the use of the ICU4C u_isalpha and u_isalnum functions
with the "standard" iswalpha and iswalnum instead? However, my brief testing shows that these give different answers. As a fallback option though they may be good enough?

[jira] Updated: (HARMONY-5556) [drlvm][class_support] make icu4c
dependency optional to reduce bundle size
Posted by "Mark Hindess (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Mark Hindess updated HARMONY-5556:
----------------------------------
Attachment: icu-replacement.c
Here is a small replacement for the icuuc .so/dll. Once installed in place of libicuuc.so.34 in jre/bin/default all of the other libic*.so* files can be removed - with some loss of compatibility.
