Sorry I really don't like it. The wrappers obfuscate and make complicated something that is not at all complicated. I have to re-read the new code 3 times to figure out what it is even doing!

All that complexity to handle the fact one platform wants to return int instead of void* ??

To me thread function wrappers look preferable to platform specific JavaMain 
signature. Consider this webrev with wrappers:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dchuyko/8215009/webrev.01/

In some cases JavaMain is called in the same thread and its result is returned 
from JLI_Launch. ContinueInNewThread is in shared code. And JavaMain uses macro 
controlled returns.
So when JavaMain returns THREAD_FUNC_RETURN changes may contain some quite 
artificial macro parts in java.c:

Hello,

Please review a small fix in java_md_solinux.c: continuation is not truly 
compatible with pthread_create start_routine's signature but we control what 
actually happens. So it makes sense to add intermediate void* cast to silence 
the error.

I'd be tempted to fix the signature and get rid of all the casts.

David, the signature is a signature of

int JNICALL JavaMain(void * _args)

It would be fun to change it. But still on Windows it is correctly passed to 
_beginthreadex() and then return code is extracted with GetExitCodeThread(). In 
case we want it to return void* the cast will move there.

I think the current double cast is truly ugly and an ifdef for windows, or a 
cast for Windows only would be an improvement.

I agree. Maybe making a wrapper function is not so ugly. If there are no 
objections to changing beginning of the call stack it is quite easy to 
implement. For consistency it may be done for all 3 points (posix unix, posix 
mac, windows) or just for posix ones.

It looks like ifdef should be better as long as there are already OS-specific 
parts in libjli. Again, if there are no objections to have different JavaMain 
signatures on different platforms. In this case there won't be a signature cast 
for Windows.

How about setting

#define THREAD_FUNC_RETURN int

in windows/java_md.h.

Then:

#ifndef THREAD_FUNC_RETURN
   #define THREAD_FUNC_RETURN void*
#endif

in java.h (after the other includes).

Then:

THREAD_FUNC_RETURN JNICALL
JavaMain(void * _args)

in java.c.

?

David

But I won't impose that on you just to silence gcc 8.
