[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Crash in CGraphicsDevice.m

[Bill York]

2d-dev folks,

I work on a product called MATLAB and we have about 60 reports from customers on Mac related to a crash in CGraphicsDevice.m

Please let  me know if this is the right way to report a crash and discuss getting it resolved.

Here are the details:

CGraphicsDevice.m is a native file in support of Java drawing and gets called from Java_sun_awt_CGraphicsDevice_nativeGetDisplayMode

While I can’t reproduce the problem, it looks like the display pointer is becoming invalid for a time when the user’s laptop opens or closes.

Looking at this source code:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~serb/8000629/webrev.08/src/macosx/native/sun/awt/CGraphicsDevice.m.html

I see a direct call to CFStringCompare without a check for a NULL CFStringRef.


  *   (CFStringCompare(mode, CFSTR(kIO30BitDirectPixels), kCFCompareCaseInsensitive) == kCFCompareEqualTo)

I believe if this code returned 0, the crash would not occur though there may be some other cleanup in the surrounding call frames.

Bill
