RFR: 8173970: jar tool should have a way to extract to a directory
by Jaikiran Pai 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

Can I please get a review for this patch which proposes to implement the enhancement request noted in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173970? The commit in this PR introduces the `-o` and `--output-dir` option to the `jar` command. The option takes a path to a destination directory as a value and extracts the contents of the jar into that directory. This is an optional option and the changes in the commit continue to maintain backward compatibility where the jar is extracted into current directory, if no `-o` or `--output-dir` option has been specified. As far as I know, there hasn't been any discussion on what the name of this new option should be. I was initially thinking of using `-d` but that is currently used by the `jar` command for a different purpose. So I decided to use `-o` and `--output-dir`. This is of course open for change depending on any suggestions in this PR. The commit in this PR also updates the `jar.properties` file which contains the English version of the jar command's `--help` output. However, no changes have been done to the internationalization files corresponding to this one (for example: `jar_de.properties`), because I don't know what process needs to be followed to have those files updated (if at all they need to be updated). The commit also includes a jtreg testcase which verifies the usage of this new option. ------------- Commit messages: - 8173970: jar tool should have a way to extract to a directory Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2752/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=2752&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173970 Stats: 268 lines in 4 files changed: 262 ins; 0 del; 6 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2752.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/2752/head:pull/2752 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/2752

RFR: 8268829: Provide an optimized way to walk the stack with Class object only
by Mandy Chung 02 May '25

02 May '25

8268829: Provide an optimized way to walk the stack with Class object only `StackWalker::walk` creates one `StackFrame` per frame and the current implementation allocates one `StackFrameInfo` and one `MemberName` objects per frame. Some frameworks like logging may only interest in the Class object but not the method name nor the BCI, for example, filters out its implementation classes to find the caller class. It's similar to `StackWalker::getCallerClass` but allows a predicate to filter out the element. This PR proposes to add `Option.NO_METHOD_INFO` new stack walking option. If no method information is needed, this option can be used such that the stack walker will save the overhead (1) to extract the method information and (2) the memory used for the stack walking. In addition, this can also fix - [8311500](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8311500): StackWalker.getCallerClass() throws UOE if invoked reflectively Adding `NO_METHOD_TIME` option provides a simple way for existing code, for example logging frameworks, to take advantage of this enhancement with the least change as it can keep the existing implementation in traversing `StackFrame`s. For example: to find the first caller filtering a known list of implementation class, existing code can just add `NO_METHOD_INFO` in the call to `StackWalker::getInstance` to create a stack walker instance: StackWalker walker = StackWalker.getInstance(Option.RETAIN_CLASS_REFERENCE, NO_METHOD_INFO); Optional<Class<?>> callerClass = walker.walk(s -> s.map(StackFrame::getDeclaringClass) .filter(interestingClasses::contains) .findFirst()); If method information is accessed on the `StackFrame`s produced by this stack walker such as `StackFrame::getMethodName`, then `UnsupportedOperationException` will be thrown. The alternative considered is to provide a new API: `<T> T walkClass(Function<? super Stream<Class<?>, ? extends T> function)` In this case, the caller would need to pass a function that takes a stream of `Class` object instead of `StackFrame`. Existing code would have to modify calls to the `walk` method to `walkClass` and the function body. ### Implementation Details If `NO_METHOD_NAME` is set, the implementation creates `ClassFrameInfo[]` buffer that is filled by the VM during stack walking. `ClassFrameInfo` holds the Class instance plus `flags` which indicate if it's caller sensitive or hidden. With this change, `StackWalker::getCallerClass` can also use `ClassFrameInfo[]` buffer to replace the special `Class` buffer and remove the special check in the VM. JDK-8311500 can be fixed in Java. If `NO_METHOD_NAME` is not set, the implementation creates `StackFrameInfo[]` buffer. `StackFrameInfo` is a subclass of `ClassFrameInfo`. It keeps `ResolvedMethodName` and all other method information. ### Performance The memory usage of the data structure (shown by -XX:PrintFieldLayout): | Type | Instance size | | ---- | ------------ | | `ClassFrameInfo` | 24 bytes | | `StackFrameInfo` | 48 bytes | | `ResolvedMethodName` | 24 bytes | | `MemberName` | 48 bytes | | `StackFrameInfo` (old) | 32 bytes | The existing implementation allocates a total of 104 bytes for each frame (`StackFrameInfo` + `MemberName` + `ResolvedMethodName`). The new implementation, without `NO_METHOD_INFO` option, allocates a total of 72 bytes for each frame (`StackFrameInfo` + `ResolvedMethodName`) which saves 30% of the buffer memory. With `NO_METHOD_INFO`, 24 bytes is allocated for each frame (only `ClassFrameInfo` is needed). In addition, it saves the overhead in creating `ResolvedMethodName` object in the VM. The microbenchmark shows that the runtime performance of stack walking with method information is 15-31% faster than the old implementation. Using `NO_METHOD_INFO` option, it is about 21-43% faster compared to traversing the frames without `NO_METHOD_INFO` in the new implementation. #### `StackWalker::getCallerClass` `StackWalkBench::getCallerClass` shows about 30-60 ns degradation. The old implementation creates a `Class` array of size 8 whereas the new implementation which creates a `ClassFrameInfo` array of size 8 initialized with 6 `ClassFrameInfo` elements. The new implementation of `getCallerClass` adds 144 bytes more, which is insignificant. The benefit of this is to do the filtering in Java rather than doing in VM. `StackWalkBench::getCallerClass` includes the cost of setting up the call stack. There is no good way to write a JMH benchmark just to measure the performance of `getCallerClass`. If I measured `getCallerClass` with a standalone benchmark, it shows `getCallerClass` takes roughly about 8500-10000 ns range on my macos-aarch64 machine. The 30-60 ns degradation is negligible. ------------- Commit messages: - fix trailing whitespace - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into stackwalker-class - Update LocalLongHelper.java - clean up - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into stackwalker-class - Add StackWalker.Option.NO_METHOD_INFO - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into stackwalker-class - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into stackwalker-class - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into stackwalker-class - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into stackwalker-class - ... and 3 more: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/compare/78f74bc8...e9e2b390 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15370/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=15370&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8268829 Stats: 1026 lines in 30 files changed: 628 ins; 178 del; 220 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15370.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/15370/head:pull/15370 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15370

RFR: 8301991: Convert l10n properties resource bundles to UTF-8 native
by Justin Lu 10 Apr '25

10 Apr '25

JDK .properties files still use ISO-8859-1 encoding with escape sequences. It would improve readability to see the native characters instead of escape sequences (especially for the L10n process). The majority of files changed are localized resource files. This change converts the Unicode escape sequences in the JDK .properties files (both in src and test) to UTF-8 native characters. Additionally, the build logic is adjusted to read the .properties files in UTF-8 while generating the ListResourceBundle files. The only escape sequence not converted was `\u0020` as this is used to denote intentional trailing white space. (E.g. `key=This is the value:\u0020`) The conversion was done using native2ascii with options `-reverse -encoding UTF-8`. If this PR is integrated, the IDE default encoding for .properties files need to be updated to UTF-8. (IntelliJ IDEA locks .properties files as ISO-8859-1 unless manually changed). ------------- Commit messages: - Update header / copyright for CurrencyFormat - Adjust CurrencyFormat test to read in .properties with UTF-8 - Convert unicode escape sequences to native - Add clarifying comment in Bug6204853 for lack of conversion - Read JDK properties files in UTF-8 during build process for LRB Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15694/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=15694&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301991 Stats: 28966 lines in 488 files changed: 14 ins; 0 del; 28952 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15694.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/15694/head:pull/15694 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15694
