The specific related commit in the hermetic Java branch is
https://github.com/openjdk/leyden/commit/53aa8f0cf418ab5f435a4b9996c7754fb8505d4b.
The change in os_linux.cpp here is to make sure that the libjvm.so related
path manipulation is conditionally done only. The check at line 599 looks for
"/libjvm.so" substring, so we only chop off (`*pslash = `\0` at line 601) that
part when necessary. In the static JDK case, there is no `libjvm.so` and the
path string is `<jdk_path>/bin/javastatic`, which should not be affected.
Otherwise, it could fail.
I found the code was not very easy to follow when running into problems and
fixing for static support. So I added a bit more comments in the code here. The
comment above about `/{client|server|hotspot}` was there originally. I think we
no longer have those directories. We can cleanup that later, since it needs
some more testing.
@magicus, thanks a lot for extracting/reworking/cleaning-up the static Java
changes from the hermetic Java branch. That's a substantial amount of work!
I have one quick comment about the removal of `STATIC_LIB_EXCLUDE_OBJS`
changes. Will post it as separate comment for the related code.
I'll also look closely of the vm & jdk changes and compare those with the
changes in the hermetic Java branch this week.
