RFR(S): JDK-8029808 com/sun/jdi/ProcessAttachTest.sh times out

[Staffan Larsen]

OK, my last try at this was very broken - I’m glad it didn’t pass the review.

Here is a new try: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/8029808/webrev.01/

As Alan says, we can’t use jps on the (second) debuggee becuse it is started with suspend=y. In that mode it is waiting for a debugger to attach before it has started executing any Java code and before jps is able to identify it.

I did find a race in the test, though. When the first debuggee is started (suspend=n) there is a race where the debugger process can attach and finish before the debuggee has written out the portfile. In that case ShutdownDebuggee will fail. I have seen this failure mode happen and I can force it by inserting a Thread.sleep into the debuggee. I solved this by waiting for the port file to appear in the suspend=n case as well.

There is also a potential problem where both debuggees use the same output file and we may think the second debuggee has started before it actually has (because the output file isn’t empty). I solved that be creating different output files for the two test cases.

I’ve also redirected all error streams so any errors aren’t lost.

Thanks,
/Staffan
