building on macOS 14

[Philip Race]

Are you referring to some open bug, or some thread somewhere ?

I'm not aware of anyone here having tried Xcode 15 (ie macOS 14 SDK) at all.

But I just did so  with more-or-less current JDK 22 which shoudn't 
differ much from JDK21u,
(Xcode 15.0.1 on macOS 14.1 on an M1 macMini to be precise) and I don't 
get a crash.
SwingSet2 starts up and runs just fine in my quick testing.

So no issues other than the known warning (not a crash) about secure 
coding and that is not related
to building on macOS 14, its about running on macOS14 if you used Xcode 
14 or later to build on any OS version.

As to your fallback of the macOS 13 SDK, I don't see any problems there 
either.

I've also built JDK 22 on macOS 14 using the macOS 13 SDK (ie Xcode 
14.3.1 as downloaded by our internal build
support) and had no issues. It reads to me like you may not have a clean 
build .. but in that case I'm
not sure why configure doesn't complain. Did you just 'swap out' the 
Xcode in a way the build maybe
can't spot ?
