Hi! I am currently working on fixing JDK-8186578:
Zero fails to build on linux-sparc due to sparc-specific code One necessary change to be able to fix this bug is to build the SPARC-specific source memset_with_concurrent_readers_sparc.cpp on Zero as well. This is necessary because on SPARC, we have to use the custom implementation of memset() to be able to have a working memset_with_concurrent_readers, the glibc version doesn't work in this case. Now, my first suggested way of addressing this problem was to move memset_with_concurrent_readers_sparc.cpp into the same location as memset_with_concurrent_readers.hpp and just make the code in the former compilation unit conditional so it's built on SPARC only [1]. Unfortunately, this proposed change was rejected due to the fact that it moves SPARC code into a generic location. So, I'm now looking for a way to tell the build system to build memset_with_concurrent_\ readers_sparc.cpp when building Zero if SPARC is defined. Can any build wizard shed some light on this and say whether it's possible to achieve that? Adrian
