- Q: What is @GenerateNativeHeaders?
-
- A:
- To speed up compilation, we added a flag to javac which makes it
- do the job of javah as well, as a by-product; that is, generating
- native .h header files. These files are only generated
- if a class contains native methods. However, sometimes
- a class contains no native method,
- but still contains constants that native code needs to use.
- The new GenerateNativeHeaders annotation tells javac to
- force generation of a
- header file in these cases. (We don't want to generate
- native headers for all classes that contains constants
- but no native methods, since
- that would slow down the compilation process needlessly.)
