<J2SE>/src/share/native/common/check_code.c contains
the following extern reference in debug builds:


#ifdef DEBUG

#ifndef __linux__
extern char *opnames[]; /* defined in the auto-generated file opcodes.c */
#endif
  :
  :
 ...etc...
  :
#endif


over in <HOTSPOT>/src/share/vm/prims/jvm.cpp is the following:

// Temporary code to make JAVA_G.DLL load //////////////////////////////////////////
//
// This should be removed when not needed by JDK any longer (needed in jdk1.2beta4).

#ifdef ASSERT
extern "C"
char **opnames() {
  ShouldNotReachHere();
  return NULL;
}
#endif



Based on this, it looks to me as if the code in check_code.c
will always fail (in the verify_verbose=1 case) on non-linux
platforms. This looks like a legacy from the classic VM that
should be removed.

I'd like to remove opnames from the _g libraries) in mantis.
