<AWT Dev> JVM crash in AWT native code - just in lambda forest

[Peter Levart]

Hi all,

I'm cross-posting this to lambda and awt lists. Although it happens in 
AWT code, the crash might or might not have anything to do with AWT. See 
below...


When trying to start NetBeans 7.3beta using OpenJDK built from head of 
lambda forest using either old or new build system, the JVM crashes in 
native code always in the same function:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

...while when running with OpenJDK built from head of jdk8 forest or 
with 1.8.0-ea-b59 preview release, this does not happen.

I'm compiling and running on Linux Fedora 17, amd64.

I would like to try a build from jdk8 forest that is as close as 
possible to the head of lambda forest. Which revision should I choose?


Regards, Peter

P.S. I checked the code (just source files containing native functions 
in above stack trace and BufferedImage.java) and they don't differ 
between jdk8 and lambda heads. But it might be that jdk8 has other 
differences to lambda that make it execute different AWT code in this 
situation...
