This assert happens rarely, but is seen in testing a few times. getCurrentQueryIndexForProcess comments that it can return -1, but it asserts that the value is >=0
If we let it return -1 for failure as its comment documents, the caller can handle the failure and not assert and end the JVM. Conversely, currentQueryIndexForProcess() clearly can return -1 on failure, so add the comment like we already have in getCurrentQueryIndexForProcess(). This assert is not reproducing on demand, but with this change I've done 50+ iterations of the test on windows-x64 and windows-x64-debug in mach5, and hundreds locally. The test which has been seen to trigger the assert "test/jdk/com/sun/management/OperatingSystemMXBean/GetProcessCpuLoad.java" ...checks the range of the load value returned, and is happy enough if -1 is the answer. ------------- Commit messages: - 8299560: Assertion failed: currentQueryIndex >= 0 && currentQueryIndex < numberOfJavaProcessesAtInitialization Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15750/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=15750&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8299560 Stats: 10 lines in 1 file changed: 2 ins; 2 del; 6 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15750.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/15750/head:pull/15750 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15750
