sun.misc.Unsafe now has two native getByte methods: one which takes a
long and another which takes an Object and a long. Thus, we need to
decorate each version with its parameter signature so we don't
accidentally call the wrong one at runtime.
As of the latest code from the jdk7u-dev Mercurial repository,
java.lang.String no longer has offset or length fields. Instead, the
content fits exactly into the backing char array, so offset is
implicitly zero and length is the length of the array. The VM
previously relied on those fields being present, whereas this commit
handles the case where they are not.
In addition, I've made some changes to openjdk-src.mk to ensure that
we can build against both a stock OpenJDK 7 and an IcedTea-patched
version.
The JRE lib dir for OpenJDK 7 on OS X seems to be just "lib", not
e.g. "lib/amd64" by default, so we use that now. Also, the default
library compatibility version for libjvm.dylib is 0.0.0, but OpenJDK
wants 1.0.0, so we set it explicitly.
The bug here is that when a thread exits and becomes a "zombie", the
OS resources associated with it are not necessarily released until we
actually join and dispose of that thread. Since that only happens
during garbage collection, and collection normally only happens in
response to heap memory pressure, there's no guarantee that we'll GC
frequently enough to clean up zombies promptly and avoid running out
of resources.
The solution is to force a GC whenever we start a new thread and there
are at least N zombies waiting to be disposed, where N=16 for now.
We never define atomicCompareAndSwap64 for ARM or PowerPC, and
apparently only very recent ARM chips support it, so we must fall back
to synchronization-based emulation.
There were a couple of problems with the Avian_sun_misc_Unsafe_park
implementation in classpath-openjdk.cpp. First, the wait time should
be interpreted as milliseconds if absolute, but as nanoseconds
otherwise, whereas we were treating it as milliseconds in both cases.
Second, there was no mechanism to exit the while loop after the
specified time; the only way we could exit was via an unpark or
interrupt.
If we fail to resolve a given class (e.g. due to ProGuard obfuscating
or eliminating it), just move on to the next one rather than return
immediately. Otherwise, we may miss intercepting methods of classes
we can resolve.
sun.font.FontManager.initIDs is a native method defined in
libfontmanager.so, yet there seems to be no mechanism in OpenJDK's
class library to actually load that library, so we lazily load it
before trying to resolve the method.
Internally, the VM augments the method tables for abstract classes
with any inherited abstract methods to make code simpler elsewhere,
but that means we can't use that table to construct the result of
Class.getDeclaredMethods since it would include methods not actually
declared in the class. This commit ensures that we preserve and use
the original, un-augmented table for that purpose.
The result of Class.getInterfaces should not include interfaces
declared to be implemented/extended by superclasses/superinterfaces,
only those declared by the class itself. This is important because it
influences how java.io.ObjectStreamClass calculates serial version
IDs.
