Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:20:50 -0700 nastaran Provided support for double colon operator used for lamabda expressions. Fixed a bug related to generating names for funcation object classes (by supporting double colon operator, a new stragety needed to generate unique names for function objects. To achive that the bootstrap ids are incorporated into names). Finally modified the method that retrieves the SAM from functional interfaces.
Tue, 21 Apr 2015 00:34:15 -0700 Peter Mehlitz the fix I would have liked to avoid - apparently hotspot internally does nested locking during class init, which can lead to deadlocks such as described in http://ternarysearch.blogspot.ru/2013/07/static-initialization-deadlock.html. Actually, it's not a regular deadlock since core dumps still list the threads as runnable, althouth it doesn't seem to be a livelock either. In any case, it can be simulated by nested locking and clinit execution, and it is such a serious defect that we want to be able to catch it. The general mechanism is to replace the disparate (but properly ordered) direct clinit calls of the generic ClassInfo.initializeClass() with a single sythetic method that includes all required locking (bottom up), clinit calls / class status change (top down), and unlocking (top down). We also need to add a synthetic insn to defer changing the class status of classes that don't have clinits(), or otherwise the correct lock/unlock order will not amount to anything if the hierarchy is entered through one of the clinit-absent classes. Now we get proper deadlocks if there are concurrent cyclic dependencies during class resolution. However, this can be such a state exploder that we certainly don't want this as the default behavior, especially since it probably is hotspot specific. Nested class init locking is therefore controlled by jvm.nested_init and respective jvm.nested_init.include/exclude options. Added a NestedInitTest to demonstrate use. Thanks to Lilia Abdulina for bringing this long forgotten issue up
