The hythr issue is not predictable, and may or may not work properly. I think that you've got correct hythr in deploy directory, and haven't done any rebuilds since then. Or maybe the build system chooses which hythr to take in some magic manner, that I cannot grasp. The easiest way to reproduce hythr issue on Windows (that's how I've come across it) is to check out and build fresh classlib, and rebuild DRLVM incrementally. In any case, having two hythr.dlls copied to a single locations is definitely a case of race condition with unpredictable result. > I'd like to see us figure out the hythr problem, since 898 is a hack to > just work around what seems to be an important issue. can we grind this > one out? A couple of words in defense of HARMONY-898. The classlib doesn't depend on a particular hythr implementation. In fact, it depends on hythr *interface*, which must be implemented somewhere in the system. At the same time, classlib provides its own hythr implementation. DRLVM itself reimplements the subset of hythr interface, thus making possible interoperation with classlib, but doesn't uses classlib's hythr implementation. So, this is not the case of "classlib wants hythr1, and drlvm wants hythr2, and hythr1 and hythr2 conflicts". In fact, this is "classlib wants some hythr, and provides hythr1. DLRVM provides hythr2, and conflicts with hythr1". Thus, IMHO, the issue is not as important as it may seem, because there is no issue on "who provides hythr", but there is an issue of competing hythr implementations, one of which comes with with DRLVM and works with it, and the other probably works with J9 (I have never checked it myself). > The zlib seems reasonable, I guess.
