Empty bochs instrument crash in linux, but not in mac. My instrument code is nearly empty. core dump: configure: run by: bochsrcSDL.bxrc: instrument.h: instrument.cc:

Java has bug again. After you installed idk 1.8u25 in your mac, open Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini, you will see: -vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home But actually this line has no effect, when you run eclipse with -console -debug, you still see it is running use idk 1.6 “-vm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework”. To fix it, change that line to -vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java Peter.

When you add the keyword “volatile” in front of variable declaration, it prevents compiler to optimize the line that are using that variable. But if the line is completely useless, compiler will still optimized it out, prevent to generate any byte code for it.
