Hi Ivan, I have just realized that the change 8057744 breaks HotSpot on Windows Server 2003 because the InitOnceExecuteOnce function isn't supported there. I suppose you're aware of this as the change contains the following comment in os_windows.cpp:
// Must be at least Windows Vista or Server 2008 to use InitOnceExecuteOnce #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 I just wanted to ask if there are any plans to downport this change to jdk8 because we currently still still support jdk8 HotSpot on Server 2003. Unfortunately the bug 8057744 is closed so I can not subscribe for notifications. If there are no special reasons for keeping it closed, can you please make it visible to everybody. Thank you and best regards, Volker On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 8:07 AM, Ivan Gerasimov <ivan.gerasi...@oracle.com> wrote: > Hello! > > This is a proposal to address issue with wrong exit codes from a Java > processes on Windows. > In order to avoid a race, calls to _endthread(), exit and _exit() are > explicitly synchronized. > We allow simultaneous calls to _endthread() by multiple threads. > However, at the time exit() or _exit() is called, no calls to _endthread() > are allowed. > > Some instrumentation added with JDK-8055338 remain in the code to help > diagnose the failures if they still occur. > > BUGURL: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8057744 > WEBREV: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~igerasim/8057744/0/webrev/ > > Sincerely yours, > Ivan
