[rvm-core] RVM-767

The native thread locking classes use terms like "nicely" and
"dangerously" to denote whether or not the GC is notified when the given method causes the thread to block. I cannot think of better terms. On the other hand, I have no strong attachment to the current naming scheme. Various people have spoken up about this, but I've lost track of what naming people wanted. So. If you think that the current naming scheme is bad, what would you prefer? If I don't hear any opinions, I'll keep it as-is. -F ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Jikesrvm-core mailing list Jikesrvm-core@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jikesrvm-core |

How about "quietly" and "noisily"? :-)
Or. Perhaps more obviously: "notifyingGC", "ignoringGC". Any other votes.

How about NotifyGC and NoNotifyGC?
I really do think Nicely and Dangerously are too vague, I'd much prefer longer names that meant something (especially using an IDE like Eclipse which will do the typing for me - I long ago gave up using a teletype which hurt my fingers typing). Of course, if you do use more expressive names, it will be important to ensure that the name and the function remain in step.

Yeah, the problem is that these functions are notifying/not notifying
more than just GC. How about notifyingHandshakes? -Filip On 4 Apr 2009, at 08:19, Richard Jones <R.E.Jones@...> wrote: > How about NotifyGC and NoNotifyGC? > > I really do think Nicely and Dangerously are too vague, I'd much > prefer longer names that meant something (especially using an IDE like > Eclipse which will do the typing for me - I long ago gave up using a > teletype which hurt my fingers typing). > > Of course, if you do use more expressive names, it will be important > to ensure that the name and the function remain in step. > > Richard > > On 4 Apr 2009, at 00:05, Filip Pizlo wrote: > >> The native thread locking classes use terms like "nicely" and >> "dangerously" to denote whether or not the GC is notified when the >> given method causes the thread to block.
