Re: JavaXPCOM: How to handle unsigned 8-bit values?

Yes, I have a test build now that sets both 'octet' and 'PRUint8' to 
byte.  There is actually a bug in the currently shipping code where I 
treat 'PRUint8' and 'octet' differently (only one gets promoted), but it 
is not handled accordingly when marshalling parameters.

Hmm, that is an interesting idea.  So any stand-alone 'octet' or 
'PRUint8' values would get promoted to a short, but arrays would become 
'byte[]'.  I'll have to think about that.  Michal, what's your take on this?

Thanks...
