Contribute towards native code which override to OpenJDK

[Archana Nogriya]

Hi Erik,

Sorry for delay, I took sometime to investigate what you had mentioned 
earlier and verified the build for native code overriding without having 
our fix with all possible scenarios.
And I can confirm that it is working as you mentioned. 

Which means, this fix must have done after we made our internal fix.

I will remove our fix then. :) 

Many Thanks



Thanks and Regards

Hello Archana,

Before attempting this change, did you actually try overriding native 
source files? The support for this has been in NativeCompilation.gmk 
since a very long time (well before the support for overriding java 
source files was added) using this piece of logic further up the file:

   # Generate the .o (.obj) file name and place it in the bin dir.
   $1_$2_OBJ := $3/$$(call replace_with_obj_extension, $$(notdir $2))
   # Only continue if this object file hasn't been processed already. 
This lets the first found
   # source file override any other with the same name.
   ifeq (,$$(findstring $$($1_$2_OBJ),$$($1_OBJS_SO_FAR)))
     $1_OBJS_SO_FAR+=$$($1_$2_OBJ)

This also relies on the line from your patch below:

    # Find all files in the source trees. Preserve order.
    $1_SRCS := $$(foreach s, $$($1_SRC), $$(call CacheFind,$$(s)))


By preserving order of source dirs, we let the first listed source 
location override any later location.

We use this both for overriding shared code with platform specific as 
well as closed overriding open. If this is not working for you, I would 
be interested to know how your use case differs from ours.
