<p>One more thing I realized about the warnings you get for
/usr/include/libudev.h: the structs about which you get warnings
are not being included (looking at your script, there are no
--include-struct for them), so there shouldn't be any need for us
to warn about them either.</p>
<p>We currently check whether things are included first, and then
mark things that aren't as 'skipped'. However, in the later pass
which checks for unsupported types, we also issue warnings for
those skipped elements. I think we should just skip issuing
warnings for things that are marked as skipped by the earlier
pass.<br>

<p>- The <font face="monospace">NullPointerException </font>is
definitely a bug. Jextract should not just report an exception.
We'll have a closer look at this on Monday, and see if we can
find what code causes the issue. It would help if you could edit
the jextract launch script, and add
`JLINK_VM_OPTIONS=-Djextract.debug=true` (`JLINK_VM_OPTIONS=`
should already be there), and then retry the failed extraction.
This should print out more information, including the entire
stack trace. that's the part I'm interested in.<br>

<p>It is meant to tell the user that they've included something
that depends on something else which was not included. This
would previously lead to uncompileable code, since
FunctionDescriptors and MemoryLayouts now refer directly to the
layouts defined in struct classes. For example, if I have a
function like `void foo(struct A)`, then the FunctionDescriptor
for `foo` will depend directly on the class we generate for
`struct A`:<br>
<font face="monospace"><br>
FunctionDescriptor.ofVoid(<br>
A.layout()<br>
);</font></p>
<p>If `A` itself is not included, this code would be
uncompileable. So, in the latest version we (try to) issue an
error about that.</p>
<p>- For the 'ERROR's due to missing dependencies you are seeing:
this also looks like a bug. We are currently issuing errors if a
_skipped_ symbols depends on a skipped symbol as well, which
makes no sense. We can just ignore missing dependencies of
skipped things. I've tried to implement a quick fix here [1].
Though, you might be better off using the pre-built binaries for
now, which don't have this dependency scanning behavior in the
first place (i.e the builds at jdk.java.net/jextract)<br>
<br>
<br>
> And why are udev, udev_list_entry, udev_device etc.
skipped? They used to work with jextract 21.</p>
<p>- I took a look at libudev.h, and the warnings about
unsupported types seem correct to me. e.g. `struct udev` does
not have a definition in libudev.h [2], so jextract can not
generate a class for it (since the layout and fields are not
known). That is all the the warning is trying to say. The other
structs about which you get a warning seems to be the same in
that they don't have a definition in that file. (FWIW this is
one of the areas we put a lot of effort into, so it makes sense
that you didn't seen a warning in JDK 21). I think we need to
clarify the error message to say more than "is not supported"
though.<br>

<p>This is actually the situation we were trying to detect with
the ERRORs you encountered. There should have been an error
about <font face="monospace">usbdevfs_iso_packet_desc</font>
being excluded, but it seems like we are not scanning the
element types of arrays at the moment (linked PR tries to fix
this as well).<br>
<br>
<br>
And finally, yeah: we need to update the README on the master
branch to reference JDK 22 instead of 21.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for reporting back! While we try to test as much as
possible, some issues slip through the cracks, and are only
found through user feedback like yours.<br>

</div>
<div>The command line "$ sh ./gradlew

for the branch with the JDK 22 code. But it's just the
README that's outdated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And the instruction "Run the Gradle build with a Java
version appropriate for the Gradle version. For example,
Gradle 7.5.1 supports JDK 21." sent me down another rabbit
hole. I have the latest Gradle version installed, which
nicely runs with JDK 21. But it failed anyway. Turns out
that the installed gradle is irrelevant but the gradle
wrapper relevant (see command line above). And the gradle
wrapper is at version 7.3.3. So there is nothing to choose
really. You must use JDK 17 (or even earlier). It has
never worked with JDK 21.</div>

<div>I would appreciate some feedback. Are these bugs? Or
has jextract become so much more restrictive?</div>

with JDK 22 near us, we have spent some quality time with
jextract, to <br>
make sure the code it generates is as good as it can be
ahead of the <br>
finalizaton of the FFM API. This resulted in several
changes, both in <br>
the implementation (so, invisible to jextract users) and
in the <br>
generated code, as we cleaned up the translation strategy
to better <br>
adhere with the core principles behind the jextract tool.
These changes <br>
are captured in details in this document:<br>

<br>
It might be a good time to take the latest jextract for a
spin (using <br>
your favourite C library!) and report back, in case we
missed anything. <br>
You can find the latest sources in this branch:<br>

Binary snapshots of this newer version are also available
here (note <br>
that MacOS/Arm64 builds is also supported now):<br>
