This test covers the case where a local stack slot is first used to
store an object reference and later to store a subroutine return
address. Unfortunately, this confuses the VM's stack mapping code;
I'll be working on a fix for that next.
The new test requires generating bytecode from scratch, since there's
no reliable way to get javac to generate the code we want. Since we
already had primitive bytecode construction code in Proxy.java, I
factored it out so we can reuse it in Subroutine.java.
In commit 7fffba2, I had modified BufferedInputStream.read to keep
reading until in.available() <= 0 or an EOF was reached, but neglected
to update the offset into the destination buffer after each read.
This caused the previously-read data to be overwritten. This commit
fixes that regression.
When trying to create an array class, we try to resolve
java.lang.Object so we can use its vtable in the array class.
However, if Object is missing, we'll try to create and throw a
ClassNotFoundException, which requires creating an array to store the
stack trace, which requires creating an array class, which requires
resolving Object, etc.. This commit short-circuits this process by
telling resolveClass not to create and throw an exception if it can't
find Object.
While doing the above work, I noticed that the implementations of
Classpath::makeThrowable in classpath-avian.cpp and
classpath-openjdk.cpp were identical, so I made makeThrowable a
top-level function.
Finally, I discovered that Thread.setDaemon can only be called before
the target thread has been started, which allowed me to simplify the
code to track daemon threads in the VM.
The main change here is to use a lazily-populated vector to associate
runtime data with classes instead of referencing them directly from
the class which requires updating immutable references in the heap
image. The other changes employ other strategies to avoid trying to
update immutable references.
1. HashMap.containsValue only checked one hash bucket, which was
pretty much useless :)
2. HashMap.MyIterator.remove was broken in that it failed to
decrement the size field and it did not update the previousCell field
properly, which sometimes led to more than one cell being removed.
The first bug affected POSIX systems: if the app never called
Process.waitFor, we'd never call waitpid on the child and thus leak a
zombie process. This patch ensures that we always call waitpid by
spawning a thread to handle it.
The second bug affected Windows systems: we weren't closing the
child's ends of the stdin, stdout, and stderr pipes after process
creation, which lead to us blocking forever while reading from the
child's stdout or stderr.
Due to a silly cut-and-paste error, we were incorrectly passing the
stdout and stderr file descriptors back from native code to Java,
which prevented reading the output of the child process.
Rather than try to support mixing Avian's core classes with those of
an external class library -- which necessitates adding a lot of stub
methods which throw UnsupportedOperationExceptions, among other
comprimises -- we're looking to support such external class libraries
in their unmodified forms. The latter strategy has already proven
successful with OpenJDK's class library. Thus, this commit removes
the stub methods, etc., which not only cleans up the code but avoids
misleading application developers as to what classes and methods
Avian's built-in class library supports.
The main changes in this commit ensure that we don't hold the global
class lock when doing class resolution using application-defined
classloaders. Such classloaders may do their own locking (in fact,
it's almost certain), making deadlock likely when mixed with VM-level
locking in various orders.
Other changes include a fix to avoid overflow when waiting for
extremely long intervals and a GC root stack mapping bug.
The biggest change in this commit is to split the system classloader
into two: one for boot classes (e.g. java.lang.*) and another for
application classes. This is necessary to make OpenJDK's security
checks happy.
The rest of the changes include bugfixes and additional JVM method
implementations in classpath-openjdk.cpp.
