I'm not seeing the JNI return codes in that file. Are you after one of those dated updates near the bottom? e.g. ``` <change date="14 February 2018" version="11.0.0"> Added JNI_SILENT_EXIT return code for early exits without errors. java.c's ParseArguments function now sets pret value to 2 for a NULL pwhat. This allows us to clearly identify when no class was set, but no other error has occurred. This is undone in java.c's ContinueInNewThread method, so the surface behaviour does not change. </change> ``` > There is also text to be written for the JNI spec if this proposal goes > ahead. I assume you mean the "RETURNS" section of the JNI_CreateJavaVM bit on the invocation.html web page. Something like this? ``` RETURNS: Returns JNI_OK on success; returns a suitable JNI error code (a negative number) on failure. The sole exception is a silent exit, which returns JNI error code JNI_SILENT_EXIT. This indicates that the VM cannot be used, but that this is the intended behaviour for the arguments used. E.g. -Xlog:help (which prints help output and then destroys the VM) ``` > > I don't agree that the launcher should be looking for > "-agentlib:jdwp=help" in the command line as it's just one of many ways > that the debugger agent might be started (e.g. -Xrunjdwp:<options>, > _JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS, ...). We can avoid that by finding a way around this line in ContinueInNewThread (java.c): ``` return (ret != 0) ? ret : rslt; ``` I have devised a means to do this, as outlined in the jvmti.xml change above. I put the changes into a recent clone of jdk/jdk, and attached the hg diff, along with an improved test.
