Java8 parse unsigned emulation #9643

Open mrjfalk opened 5 years ago

mrjfalk commented 5 years ago

GWT version: 2.8.2

Description

Java 8 introduced unsigned parsing methods, for example Integer.parseUnsignedInt(). I found contribution from 2016 for this (https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/c/gwt/+/14552/), but nothing seems to have happened there.

Are there any plans to add emulations for these in coming GWT versions?

Sure, however most contributors currently spend their free time migrating GWT 2.x code into their own smaller projects and make the code J2CL compatible.

There are quite a few API additions in Java 8-11 that could be emulated in the future, with some of them already have pending code reviews. We are currently working on a list of APIs that are missing or are not up-to-date within GWT. There is a shorter list in https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9547 and I am currently working on a more detailed list based on a JDiff report between current GWT and JDK 11: https://github.com/jnehlmeier/gwt-sandbox/issues/15 (work in progress)
