Please review a very small fix (JDK9):
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/7182040/thread_create_failed_msg_001/
Bug: The original "OutOfMemorError" message could be misleading when the
actual cause is the OS limit on number of processes/threads.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7182040
Summary of fix:
I changed all occurrence of the literal string "unable to create
new native thread"
in the C code to call a common function
os::native_thread_creation_failed_msg().
Individual OS ports may define an alternative message by defining the
OS_NATIVE_THREAD_CREATION_FAILED_MSG macro in os_<port>.hpp
Here's a snap shot of the new message:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create native thread:
possibly out of memory
or process/resource limits reached
at java.lang.Thread.start0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:713)
at spin.main(spin.java:15)
Tests:
JPRT
Thanks
