Hi Ichiroh, we do not use the XLC 13 compiler on AIX yet here at SAP and I believe nobody of my colleagues has played with it yet. So you are on a new playground here 😊 However, I believe the idea in OpenJDK with the abolition of map files is that symbols should be invisible externally unless they are declared exported, e.g. JNIEXPORT. So I would think "-qvisibility=hidden" should be the correct default and whatever JNIEXPORT expands to should contain the right attributes to get that symbol visible. Can you check if either my assumption is completely wrong, JNIEXPORT does not expand to the right thing, XLC 13 has a bug or maybe just sume specific required symbols are not declared correctly? Best regards Christoph

Hello. 8202322 was integrated into jdk-11+15. I'm using XLC 13.1.3 on AIX 7.1.4. Build was failed because of "-qvisibility=hidden" on make/lib/LibCommon.gmk. According to "XL C/C++ for AIX 13.1.3" documentation [1], "-qvisibility=hidden" cannot create shared libraries entry points. For example, libverify.so was there, but entry points were not resolved by "-lverify" option. I think it should be "-qvisibility=default" (I tried, it worked) or "-qvisibility=protected" (I had not tried) ? I'm not familiar with -qvisibility option, but I'd like to find out right way.

Hi Christoph can I add you as second reviewer (other reviewer was Erik Joelsson) can push the change ?
Best regards, Matthias

Hi Matthias,
to me the change in principal looks good.
I'm wondering if it is possible to do a comparison like xlc < 13 (e.g. extract major number before the first dot, then compare numerically) - but maybe it is too complicated and the current single version compare suits our needs ?
Best regards Christoph

Hello , could you please review this small adjustment to the symbol visibility compilation settings on AIX ? Currently we use XLC 12.1 to compile JDK on AIX .
However XLC 12.1 does not support the "-qvisibility=hidden" setting currently set on AIX. It was introduced with XLC 13.1 . Christoph found some info about it here :
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-symbol- visibility-part2/index.html
Setting it only generates hundreds of warnings in the build log , warnings look like this : XlC12.1
bash-4.4$ xlC -qversion IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V12.1 (5765-J02, 5725-C72) Version: 12.01.0000.0019
bash-4.4$ xlC -qvisibility=hidden sizeof.c -o sizeof_aixxlc 1506-173 (W) Option visibility=hidden is not valid. Enter xlC for list of valid options.
Compare to XLC13.1
bash-3.00$ xlC -qversion IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V13.1 (5725-C72, 5765-J07) Version: 13.01.0000.0008 bash-3.00$ xlC -qvisibility=default sizeof.c -o sizeof_aixxlc bash-3.00$ xlC -qvisibility=hidden sizeof.c -o sizeof_aixxlc
So it is better to avoid setting these flags when using xlc12.1 . Please review :
