Hello Everyone

Good day to you. 

A quick follow-up on the fix for 
           Bug ID : JDK-8152971  
           Title     : -Xcheck:jni - WARNING in native method   

Thanks to Phil for his feedback.
The feedback was not only detailed.. but contained important links for reference.

I 've incorporated the review suggestions and have updated the webrev.
Brief on changes from previous revision:

      1. Once an exception has been found in an Up-call, the exception is ' not ' consumed or cleared now.
               . As Phil rightly said, this will pave way for the Java methods to know of the exceptions and handle them.

      2. In addition to point No.1, The GDI's callback functions return zero '0' during an exception.
               . This will stop the subsequent enumeration of fonts & calls to registered callbacks through the APIs

      3. Since exceptions are not consumed, all GDI 's callback functions are checked for pending exceptions at the entry.
              . On pending exceptions, the GDI's callback functions return immediately.
                       . This prevents the functions from invoking any other JNI calls that could be un-safe during a pending exception
                       . The callback functions merely release any local reference held before returning to caller.

      4. Since we no longer support Win98, the obsolete ANSI versions of functions (~A functions) have been removed.
             . Functions that work with Unicode strings invoking Unicode versions of Windows APIs (~W functions) are retained.
 
      5. The jtreg shell script has been modified to execute on all platforms after testing its execution on Windows, Linux, Mac and SunOS.
            . Just to re-iterate: The jtreg script fails on windows and solaris but in java.lang codebase. 
            . A bug is already Open indicating JNI warnings in java.lang package. Hence this change does not introduce any new issues.

As with any proposed webrev: 
     . The changes were run through internal build system to ensure safe build on all supported OS versions.
     . JCK and JTREG test cases were run to ensure no conformance or regression failures occur.

Kindly review the changes at your convenience and provide your feedback.
       . Updated webrev link: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pnarayanan/8152971/webrev.03/

Thank you for your time & effort in review
Have a good day

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/design.html#exception_handling

lists DeleteLocalRef as safe to call with a pending exception.

So here ...
74     fullnameLC = (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, fullname,
 175                                           fmi->toLowerCaseMID, fmi->locale);
 176     if ((*env)->ExceptionCheck(env)) {
 177         (*env)->ExceptionClear(env);
 178         /* Delete the created references */
 179         DeleteLocalReference(env, fullname);
 180         return 1;
 181     }

... perhaps what we should do is not clear the exception and
with the goal that after returning from this function we can
check in the caller for a pending exception and return from
JNI to Java *without clearing it* - so that Java code gets
that exception propagated. I suggest this because I think
we would have a correctness issue which should be reported - not
swallowed - if there ever really was one.

I think this means that the GDI callbacks need to check
for a pending exception on entry and bail since once
we hand off to windows it may be called repeatedly.

But also we should stop enumeration if we detect an error
hence we should return 0 in this case, not 1 per the
docs for EnumFontFamExProc

Return value

The return value must be a nonzero value to continue enumeration;
 to stop enumeration, the return value must be zero.

---

Also the "A" functions are now obsolete. No win 98 support any more :-)
We should just delete them instead of updating them.

And I'd prefer the test be verified on Solaris rather than excluding it

Looks good to me. Only thing is in test script, you need to add copyright 2015, 2016 as the script is originally written in 2015 and you cannot omit the created year from the copyright.

Hello Everyone 

Good day to you. 

Quick follow up to fix for the Bug 
       Bug ID     : JDK-8152971 
       Bug Link : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152971 

First, Thanks to Prasanta for his review & suggestions. 

I 've incorporated some of the review suggestions & updated the webrev. 
      Webrev Link : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pnarayanan/8152971/webrev.02/ 

Overview on changes from previous webrev: 

1. Code Changes: As Prasanta mentioned, 
           The variable fontStrLC should be used in place of fontStr - The correction has been taken up. 
           And releaseGdiFontMapReferences call is not required when GdiFontMapInfo object isn't initialized - The particular invocation has been removed. 

2. With regard to deleting references held within GdiFontMapInfo struture 
          JNI creates local references only for objects that are created at the Java side - jobject, jstring and jclass 
          The other FMI variables - method IDs are not references to objects. Hence invoking deleteLocalRef.. is not valid (may not compile too). 

3. The Jtreg shell script - LoadFontsJNICheck.sh was initially written to run only on MacOS. 
          Since it addresses the bug at hand (which is on windows), I tested the script 's execution on Win and Linux. 
                The Jtreg script passes on linux and fails on windows with warnings in java.lang codebase. 
                As I understand, there is a JBS bug filed already pertaining to JNI warnings in java.lang package. 
                Hence enabling the script on windows, doesn't introduce new bug. 
          The only OS that the script doesn't run - Solaris. 
                Presently, we don't have a Solaris environment at our facility to test the script. 
                Hence the original functionality on Solaris is retained. 

Kindly take a look at the changes at your convenience & provide the suggestions. 

Thank you for your review 
Have a good day

I guess this method(s) should take "fontStrLC" instead of "fontStr" 
650             (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, fontToFileMap, fmi->putMID, 
  651                                      fontStr, fileStr); 

  692         (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, fontToFileMap, fmi->putMID, 
  693                                  fontStr, fileStr); 

762             (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, fontToFileMap, fmi->putMID, 
  763                                      fontStr, fileStr); 

805         (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, fontToFileMap, fmi->putMID, 
  806                                  fontStr, fileStr); 
It seems this line is not needed as we have not populated fmi structure yet. 
882         releaseGdiFontMapReferences(env, &fmi); 

Why aren't we deleting fmi->env,fmi.arrayListCtr,fmi.addMID,fmi.putMID  in releaseGdiFontMapReferences()? 

Also, it seems earlier the testscript was supposed to execute only on Mac but now you are extending the execution platform to windows and linux as well excluding only solaris. 
Is there any particular need to restrict solaris too? 

Regards 
Prasanta

Hello Everyone on Java2D Forum 
Good day to you. 
A Quick follow-up on webrev to fix the following issue 
       Bug ID     : JDK-8152971  / -Xcheck:jni - warning in native method 
       Bug Link : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152971?filter=-1 
Updated webrev link:  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pnarayanan/8152971/webrev.01/ 
Description on Changes 
       . The previous webrev contained changes to additional files which are not related to the current bug in concern. 
       . Henceforth, the updated webrev limits the changes to only fontpath.c and a Jtreg test script to verify the change. 
Regarding Build & Test 
       . Though the changes pertain to windows specific code, internal build system was triggered to ensure safe build on all supported platforms. 
       . In addition, no new Jtreg failures were found with the proposed changes. 
Kindly review the changes at your convenience & provide your feedback. 
Thank you for your time in review

Subject: [9] Review Request- JDK-8152971- JNI Warning with -Xcheck:jni 
Hello Everyone, on Java2D Group 
Good day to you. 
Please find herewith, webrev changes to fix the bug- 
       Bug ID     : JDK-8152971  / -Xcheck:jni - warning in native method 
       Bug Link : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152971?filter=-1 
       Webrev : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pnarayanan/8152971/webrev.00/ 
Description on Bug: 
      1.  Too many JNI warnings are reported in the native functions when test-code is run with VM Option:  -Xcheck:jni 
      2.  The warnings can be classified into 2 categories 
                  a.  JNI warnings that are thrown due to the missing exception checks after an Up call ( JNI function invoking Java method ) 
                  b.  JNI warnings that are thrown due to increased usage of Local Reference objects. 
Description on the Fix: 
      1.  File : FontPath.c 
                    Added JNIEnv->ExceptionCheck() and ExceptionClear() where Up call is invoked. 
                            The checks are added only to the valid Up calls as per JNI spec. 
                    Added JNIEnv->DeleteLocalRef where the native functions created Java side objects but did not delete their local reference after usage. 
                            A few of the native functions get invoked as Callbacks to Windows APIs following the font enumeration. 
                            Therefore at each callback, the count of active local references would increase. 
                                     Over time, the active local references would exceed the planned number of local references set by JVM. 
      2.  File : awt_Component.cpp 
                    Added JNIEnv->ExceptionCheck() and ExceptionClear() where an Up call displayed a JNI warning while running the Jtreg test script. 
                    Information on Jtreg test script is given below. 
      3.  File : LoadFontsJNICheck.sh 
                    The shell script is already a part of JTreg test case & invokes LoadFontsJNICheck with -Xcheck:jni VM option 
                    However, the script was configured to run only on Mac OS. Now, the script is modified to run on windows, linux and mac systems. 
                                 This way, the code changes can be checked for proper execution with test-case. 
Kindly review the changes at your convenience and share your feedback. 
Thank you for your time in review 
Have a good day 
Prahalad N.
