I totally agree that the current usage of JNIEXPORT in typedefs in AWT and 2D code is a bug.

My concern, however, is about other code that mistakenly adapted the same pattern. After this fix its compilation will fail.

Yup. �Any code that was using JNIEXPORT inappropriately will fail to compile.

All changes are incompatible changes.

But ... it's only a source incompatibility, only in native code, and trivial for users to fix.�

(It would be even better if the semantics of JNIEXPORT were documented somewhere...)

Just like the JDK native code needs porting whenever a new release of gcc comes out.
