Hi all,
version 2 of Davids patch, with test changes:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stuefe/webrevs/JDK-8212828-posix_spawn.patch/webrev.01/webrev/
Executed the test on my local Ubuntu box, works fine. Submit job runs.
About the test: I added a new line:
* @run main/othervm/timeout=300 Basic
* @run main/othervm/timeout=300 -Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=fork Basic
+ * @run main/othervm/timeout=300
-Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=posix_spawn Basic
The way I understand those tests work is that the first line causes
the test to be run with the default launch mechanism, the second line
with jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=fork explicitly. The third line,
added by me, will now explicitly test with posix_spawn. I did not
limit the platforms, since posix_spawn should now be available on all
platforms, so it should work on all platforms. But then, on all other
platforms it has already been the default.
This is still a bit iffy: On Windows, jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism
gets ignored, so we just executed the same test twice (now three
times)? And now we execute the posix_spawn variant twice on all
platforms where this is the default, so line 1 and 3 are the same? You
see I am not a jtreg expert :) Can I specify a @run directive for only
one platform? In that case I would limit the explicit posix_spawn test
to Linux.
Note however that if we really abondon vfork in the future and make
posix_spawn the default, this test becomes simpler too.
Best, Thomas
