Improve timezone mapping for AIX platform (original) (raw)

Hi Jonathan,

The AIX specific code looks OK to me. But I'd suggest the code be moved to getPlatformTimeZoneID() for AIX, which just returns NULL currently. Also there's a function for producing a fallback ID in "GMT±hh:mm", getGMTOffsetID() which can be called in tzerr.

Thanks, Masayoshi

Hi ppc-aix-port-dev, core-libs-dev,

Here's a patch for JDK-8034220, http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~luchsh/JDK-8034220/ It is trying to add the a more complete timezone mapping mechanism for AIX platform. the changes are primarily based on IBM's commercial JDK code, which includes: - A new timezone mapping file added under directory jdk/src/aix/lib/ - Code to parse above config file, changed file is src/solaris/native/java/util/TimeZonemd.c - And also makefile change in make/CopyFiles.gmk to copy the config file Could you pls help to review and give comments ? Cheers - Jonathan
