Following up on a suggestion from Xiaobin Lu a while back, I have
prepared diffs to remove Interruptible IO support from bsd-port.
The reasons are as follows:
1) Interruptible IO in Solaris is depreciated and will be removed at
some time in the future.
2) It is broken in bsd-port and never worked. I missed at least one code
fragment needed to enable this. Since the 1.6 hotspot BSD port was based
on my openjdk7 hotspot port, it is also broken in all BSD 1.6 ports. The
last time Interruptible IO support worked on BSD was our 1.5 ports.
3) This is the only hotspot feature that came from the Solaris code base
so removing it will make the BSD hotspot code base closer to the Linux
code base.
Attached are patches to the hotspot, jdk and corba workspaces that
remove Interruptible IO. Please test and report any problems to the list.
