Hi all, I could reframe the subject matter as "how do you internally at Oracle build the Windows JDK"?
I had several discussions with people from Oracle about missing callstacks in hs-err files on Windows generated in tests which run at Oracle. I recently did JDK-8185712, which improves the Windows symbol decoder, so I feel somewhat responsible. However, I was never able to reproduce anything - here at SAP, we get nice callstacks and all works well. A simple explanation may be that you at Oracle either remove the debug info (pdb files) from the images before testing and/or build with -with_native_debug_symbols=zipped . The latter zips the pdb files, which in that form are useless. Which is it? For that matter, do you think -with_native_debug_symbols=zipped makes sense on Windows? Would it not make more sense to make the default -with_native_debug_symbols=external on Windows, to have pdb files ready for debugging and testing? Thanks, Thomas
