David already gave a good answer to this. For details see the comments in
the bug report.

In addition, there is the localization strerror(_s) provides: it is useless
and actually counterproductive in log files intended for the VM developers
themselves; but if those error messages get stuffed into Java Exception
texts and presented to the user, they might make more sense.

Wow, is this a reply to a nearly seven-year-old email? [1]

I don't know if Vladimir Yaroslavskiy is still on core-libs-dev. I dug through 
tthe archives and found that he had posted a couple messages somewhat later [2]

You might try to contact him at one of these addresses. Note however that the

He's also on LinkedIn. His profile says he works for Oracle, but as far as I can 
see he no longer does.


Good luck,

And a version that requires a buffer to be passed in is problematic in a

Re: RFR:JDK-8032051:"ZonedDateTime" class "parse" method fails with short time zone offset ("+01")

[Stephen Colebourne]

It is important to also consider the case where the user wants to
format using HH:MM but parse seconds if they are provided.

As I said above, this is no different to SignStyle, where the user
requests something specific on format, but accepts anything on input.

The pattern is still used for formatting and strict parsing under
these changes. It is effectively ignored in lenient parsing (which is
the very definition of leniency).

Another way to look at it:

using a pattern of HH:MM and strict:
+02 - disallowed
+02:00 - allowed
+02:00:00 - disallowed

using a pattern of HH:mm and strict:
+02 - allowed
+02:00 - allowed
+02:00:00 - disallowed

using any pattern and lenient:
+02 - allowed
+02:00 - allowed
+02:00:00 - allowed

This covers pretty much anything a user needs when parsing.

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Stephen,

Even in lenient mode the parser needs to stick to the fields provided in 
the pattern.

If the caller intends to parse seconds, the pattern should include seconds.
Otherwise the caller has not been able to specify their intent.
That's consistent with lenient mode used in the other fields.
Otherwise, the pattern is irrelevant except for whether it contains a 
":" and makes

the spec nearly useless.

In the original issue, appendOffsetId is defined as using the +HH:MM:ss
pattern and
specific to ISO the MM should be allowed to be optional.   There is no
question of parsing
extra digits not included in the requested pattern.

Separately, this is specifying the new lenient behavior of
appendOffset(pattern, noffsetText).
In that case, I don't think it will be understood that patterns 'shorter'
than the input will
gobble up extra digits and ':'s.

This code will *always* select type 10 (colons) if a colon is found at
position+3. Whereas the spec now says that it should only do this if
the pattern is "HH". For other patterns, the colon/no-colon choice is
defined to be based on the pattern.

That said, I'm thinking it is better to make the spec more lenient to
match the behaviour as implemented:


When parsing in lenient mode, only the hours are mandatory - minutes
and seconds are optional. If the character after the hour digits is a
colon
then the parser will parse using the pattern "HH:mm:ss", otherwise the
parser will parse using the pattern "HHmmss".


Additional TCKDateTimeFormatterBuilder tests will be needed to
demonstrate the above. There should also be a test for data following
the lenient parse. The following should all succeed:


DateTimeFormatterBuilder().parseLenient().appendOffset("HH:MM").appendZoneId();
"+01:00Europe/London"
"+0100Europe/London"


DateTimeFormatterBuilder().parseLenient().appendOffset("HH:MM").appendLiteral(":").appendZoneId();
"+01:Europe/London"

Note this special case, where the colon affects the parse type, but is
not ultimately part of the offset, thus it is left to match the
appendLiteral(":")

You may want to think of some additional nasty edge cases!

In `DateTimeFormatter`, the code should be

and the same in the other case. This ensures that existing callers who

RE: RFR 8124977 cmdline encoding challenges on Windows

[Vladimir Shcherbakov]

Hi Sherman,

1) If you can point out the regression test cases that are compromised by the 
fix - it would be very helpful;
2) From my understanding you can change default encoding by starting java with 
-Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 - this is well known feature that never caused 
problems (javac doesn't have such a switch );
3) If you state that java is non-Unicode on Windows by nature - the issue  
JDK-8124977 is a feature not a bug  :)

Vladimir,

sun.jnu.encoding is used by

used by the various native library code to convert between the jstring and 
native char*, with the assumption that the "platform encoding" for the native 
char* is the "default" encoding used by the underlying platform/os APIs that 
takes char* parameters or return char* values, in case of Windows, it's the 
code page decided by the system locale. We have migrated certain areas 
completely to use the "W" version/WChar APIs, such as the 
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=java.io=01%7c01%7cvlashch%40microsoft.com%7c635061d867af4ad4105008d33cd679e7%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1=l4G1yzKKhniPRYJvBsGxchsBZvuWliVq8tILa0pLoY8%3d,
 the system properties initialization, but I'm think lots of areas still work 
on the "A" apis, especially I think the "char*" interface between the jvm and 
the libraries is still the the "ansi" codepage, not the utf8. Those work on 
utf8 have their names explicitly named as "xyzUTF" or similar.

For example, the "java_home_dir" path used in 
libjava/TimeZone.c/getSystemTimeZoneID/
TimeZone_md.c/findJavaTZ_md is encoded frm jstring java_home to char* via 
JNU_GetSTringPlatformChars.
Simply change/hardcode the jnu_sun.encoding to utf8 probably will cause the 
timezone code stop to work if the java_home_dir path has some non-ascii 
characters in it (the jdk/jre is installed in a Japanese/Chinese directory, for 
example).

A quick "grep" indicates java.desktop/windows/native/libawt/windows
package has a heavily
usage of the JNU_ pair as well. I'm not sure if this awt implementation is 
still being used though :-)

Before we clear all these internal "StringPlatform" use cases (I'm not sure if 
they are also used by external), I don't think we can simply set the 
sun.jnu.encoding to utf8, though it's very attractive.

RE: RFR 8124977 cmdline encoding challenges on Windows

[Vladimir Shcherbakov]

Hi Naoto,

1) The system locale determines which code page is used on the system by 
default on operating systems that use Unicode as their native encoding (all 
OSes  from Windows 2000 to Windows 10) to convert text data from Unicode to 
code page whenever dealing with legacy non-Unicode applications. Only 
applications that do not use Unicode as their default character-encoding 
mechanism are affected by this setting; therefore, applications that are 
already Unicode-encoded can safely ignore the value and functionality of this 
setting.

2) The fundamental representation of text in Windows NT-based operating systems 
is UTF-16, and the WCHAR data type is a UTF-16 code unit. Java launcher, from 
the other side, uses CHAR as a code unit - so to use UNICODE charset with Java 
launcher we had to encode entire command line with UTF-8 (convert from UTF-16 
to UTF-8). After that step we can state that Java launcher is Unicode-encoded 
and can safely ignore the value and functionality of the system locale. To let 
JVM know that we use UTF-8 as a default UNICODE encoding for platform string  - 
we assign the value to sprops.sun_jnu_encoding property (mac osx does the same) 
instead of reading system locale code page. 

The main idea of the fix was to change the way of how java and javac works with 
so called platform string on Windows. Before the fix the platform string was 
read as ANSI encoded - that's why the system locale code page was very 
important. The sun.jnu.encoding property is responsible for storing the 
platform string encoding. On Windows the property could be set with the system 
locale but the system locale doesn't support (by design) UTF-8 or with 
-Dsun.jnu.encoding switch, but the switch only works with java not with javac, 
and the switch was useless for ANSI encoded platform string.

Thanks,
Vladimir.

Hello,

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but this is my first time looking at 
the fix. In java_props_md.c, sprops.sun_jnu_encoding is now always "UTF-8". Is 
it always the case? What if the system admin switches the locale for 
"non-Unicode" applications in the Windows control panel?

RFR: JDK-8150704 XALAN: ERROR: 'No more DTM IDs are available' when transforming with lots of temporary result trees

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

I've created a fix proposal for the issue I have reported in this bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150704

The webrev can be found here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8150704.1/

The Xalan parser would eventually run out of DTM IDs if xsl transformations 
involve lots of temporary result trees. Those are never released although they 
could. A testcase is included for this. I've also done some cleanups in the 
Xalan code and in the tests.

Thanks in advance for looking at this :)

Best regards
Christoph

Re: RFR:JDK-8032051:"ZonedDateTime" class "parse" method fails with short time zone offset ("+01")

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Stephen,

It does not seem natural to me with a pattern of HHMM for it to parse 
more than 4 digits.
I can see lenient modifying the behavior as it it were HHmm, but there 
is no indication in the pattern

that seconds would be considered.  How it would it be implied from the spec?

In the original issue, appendOffsetId is defined as using the +HH:MM:ss 
pattern and
specific to ISO the MM should be allowed to be optional.   There is no 
question of parsing

extra digits not included in the requested pattern.

Separately, this is specifying the new lenient behavior of 
appendOffset(pattern, noffsetText).
In that case, I don't think it will be understood that patterns 
'shorter' than the input will

gobble up extra digits and ':'s.

This code will *always* select type 10 (colons) if a colon is found at
position+3. Whereas the spec now says that it should only do this if
the pattern is "HH". For other patterns, the colon/no-colon choice is
defined to be based on the pattern.

That said, I'm thinking it is better to make the spec more lenient to
match the behaviour as implemented:


When parsing in lenient mode, only the hours are mandatory - minutes
and seconds are optional. If the character after the hour digits is a
colon
then the parser will parse using the pattern "HH:mm:ss", otherwise the
parser will parse using the pattern "HHmmss".


Additional TCKDateTimeFormatterBuilder tests will be needed to
demonstrate the above. There should also be a test for data following
the lenient parse. The following should all succeed:


DateTimeFormatterBuilder().parseLenient().appendOffset("HH:MM").appendZoneId();
"+01:00Europe/London"
"+0100Europe/London"


DateTimeFormatterBuilder().parseLenient().appendOffset("HH:MM").appendLiteral(":").appendZoneId();
"+01:Europe/London"

Note this special case, where the colon affects the parse type, but is
not ultimately part of the offset, thus it is left to match the
appendLiteral(":")

You may want to think of some additional nasty edge cases!

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mhaupt/8150635/webrev.00

There were two issues to address that led to IOOBE being thrown.

1. Lack of support for deriving the loop signature from given parameter type 
lists in case no init function is given at all.

2. The loop combinator reporting a wrong exception in case a parameter type 
list is longer than the common parameter sequence. In this case, an error about 
non-effectively identical parameter type lists should be signalled.

See the JIRA issue for details and examples.

Thanks,

Michael

Re: RFR:JDK-8032051:"ZonedDateTime" class "parse" method fails with short time zone offset ("+01")

[Stephen Colebourne]

I don't think this is quite right.

if ((length > position + 3) && (text.charAt(position + 3) == ':')) {
   parseType = 10;
}

This code will *always* select type 10 (colons) if a colon is found at
position+3. Whereas the spec now says that it should only do this if
the pattern is "HH". For other patterns, the colon/no-colon choice is
defined to be based on the pattern.

That said, I'm thinking it is better to make the spec more lenient to
match the behaviour as implemented:


When parsing in lenient mode, only the hours are mandatory - minutes
and seconds are optional. If the character after the hour digits is a colon
then the parser will parse using the pattern "HH:mm:ss", otherwise the
parser will parse using the pattern "HHmmss".


Additional TCKDateTimeFormatterBuilder tests will be needed to
demonstrate the above. There should also be a test for data following
the lenient parse. The following should all succeed:

DateTimeFormatterBuilder().parseLenient().appendOffset("HH:MM").appendZoneId();
"+01:00Europe/London"
"+0100Europe/London"

DateTimeFormatterBuilder().parseLenient().appendOffset("HH:MM").appendLiteral(":").appendZoneId();
"+01:Europe/London"

Note this special case, where the colon affects the parse type, but is
not ultimately part of the offset, thus it is left to match the
appendLiteral(":")

You may want to think of some additional nasty edge cases!

Re: RFR[9u-dev] 8130425: libjvm crash due to stack overflow in executables with 32k tbss/tdata

[Kevin Walls]

Thanks Martin - I think we're going to proceed with the arguably 
somewhat ugly change as it does solve a real problem, although somewhat 
unusual to have such large thread local sizes for it to matter.  And we 
may have to deal with a thread library that takes away stack space for 
thread local data for a while.


Thanks
Kevin

My hope is that we eventually eliminate StackOverflowError by
implementing dynamically growable thread stacks.

Until then, my hope is that hotspot give the thread the memory it asks
for, for actually storing stack frames, and thread locals should not
steal space from that.

The system property introduced in this change is an ugly workaround for that.

Hi Cheleswer,

Looks good to me.

Thanks

(Also, as one of the comments was that there may be no real cost to using
default stack sizes here (on most systems...?), having
jdk.lang.processReaperUseDefaultStackSize gives us a way to test that
widely, and one day the 32k may be able to disappear.)

I would really like to thanks "Martin" for the patch
(http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/openjdk9/tls-size-guarantee/)
which he has provided. Since we support a wider range of glibc versions and
platform using patch will
require more testing and work. I think the use of system property for this
issue will be safer at this point of time.

Someone from core-libs needs to chime on what the appropriate namespace for
such a property would be.

Thread t = new Thread(systemThreadGroup, grimReaper, "process reaper",

If that tests OK for you, it may be the way we can go ahead with the
point fix for this.

Historical note - I never liked having a reaper thread for each

If we do end up using this strategy, cleaner would be to use
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html#Thread-java.lang.ThreadGroup-java.lang.Runnable-java.lang.String-long-
stackSize - the desired stack size for the new thread, or zero to
indicate that this parameter is to be ignored.
