RE: [Testing Convention] Stress tests: requirements review needed

2006-04-25 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Hi Alexander,

Let me question the following requirement from your list:

o  System should have a possibility to vary test behavior and
stress conditions using arguments
Actually I'm thinking here about a test suite built from a simple
blocks
like small and fast unit tests, or functional tests

Do you have in mind some standard glue for these simple building blocks
as well? See examples below.

   * Loop generator
 If we have some simple unit or functional test, the reasonable
stress is to execute this test in a loop.

   * Thread generator
 It makes sense to put GC-stressing activity in a loop in parallel
with some test.

   * Stress precondition
 We can fill most of the memory, and run a simple test afterwards.

   * Wildcards in test names
 We may like to stress in some way each test from the package of
tests.

Do you mean all this rich set of possibilities should be passed via
command line arguments? How can we make this notation compact and
understandable?

RE: [classlib] Testing

2006-05-04 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Paulex, Mikhail, all,
Do I understand the proposed directory structure for stress tests
correctly?

src/test/
|
+- impl/
|
+- compliant/
|
+- stress/
|   |
|   +- org
|   |
|   +- apache
|   |
|   +- harmony
|   |
|   +- test
|   |
|   +- stress
|   |
|   +- generator
|   |   |
|   |   +- Loop.java
|   |   |
|   |   +- Thread.java
|   |   |
|   |   \- Package.java
|   |
|   +- gc
|   |
|   \- more packages
|
\- etc/


 1) We will run compliant to validate test suite
 2) We will not run stress before commit
I think pre-commit checks should be done according to a test list, not a
directory structure. The reason is simple: number of compliant tests in
a directory will constantly grow while the pre-commit check must take a
reasonable time.

 Shouldn't this go in a JIRA rather than on the wiki?

If I understand Alexander correctly, currently this is not yet a
contribution, but a prototype. Alexander has presented a concept sketch
and awaits a design review from the community.

My 2 cents about HowTo.txt
   * My Eclipse imported and compiled unpacked content
   * Examples worked (a minor correction is to put a class name after
classpath in the first example).

RE: [DRLVM] build process improvement

2006-05-17 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Vladimir,

Therefore there are no needs to compile them each of participants. It'd
be
fine to have these sources pre-compiled (another snapshot?)

Working with Geronimo, I've got acquainted with Maven
http://maven.apache.org/ build system, which solves this issue for
pure-java projects:

 Dependency management: Maven encourages the use of a central
repository of
 JARs and other dependencies. Maven comes with a mechanism that your
 project's clients can use to download any JARs required for building
your
 project from a central JAR repository much like Perl's CPAN. This
allows 
 users of Maven to reuse JARs across projects and encourages
communication 
 between projects to ensure that backward compatibility issues are
dealt 
 with.

Probably we should split our VM into modules with well-documented
interfaces and take advantage of this Apache product to deploy them
separately in pre-built binaries.

RE: [DRLVM] build process improvement

2006-05-18 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Ivan, Andrey,

The main thing I vote for is to evaluate and to take the best from other
distribute dependency management systems before starting relatively
easy to modify the DRLVM building system. I like Ivan's list, though
Apache Maven has a domestic priority :-).

Let me address two real problems you have mentioned:

   * Update only when needed to avoid unpleasant surprises
We solved this problem by keeping local Maven repository. Maven gurus
can say if this is a correct way to handle this issue.

   * Mixed builds 
Maven supports anything with ANT builds - we can have pre-built binaries
for basic configurations, for others Maven will load source
distributions and build in their environments.

 Returning back to the subject of this discussion, I guess it should
be
 relatively easy to modify the DRLVM building system such that it
would
 get the binary HDK from web and use it for compilation of a single
 module.
 And this approach would assume that the HDK snapshots include the
 DRLVM as well (?) :)

RE: [classlib] Layout of tests in crypto module

Mikhail,

For me is hard to differentiate between X509CertImplTest and
X509CertImplITest. So I vote for inventing something different.

Why moving implementation-independent tests into a separate package
(like org.apache.harmony.test.tested_package) is no longer discussed?
BTW, in this case we can remove excessive Test suffix.

 Hi Mikhail,

 That is a very good point and your suggestion of supplementing the
class
 or package name sounds like a very straightforward way around the
 problem. Because there will be a number of tests that must be in an
 identical package name to the type under test then it seems that the
 differentiating mark needs to be added to the test class name. Not
 really sure what this could be. Given that we are all settled on the
 convention that a test type has the Test suffix, how about just
add
 Impl to that suffix for implementation tests giving us an
ImplTest
 suffix.
 e.g.

 class under test : java.lang.SomeClassTest
 implementation-independent test class :
 o.a.h.module.tests.java.lang.SomeClassTest
 Harmony-specific test class :
 o.a.h.module.tests.java.lang.SomeClassImplTest


 My 2 Euro cents...

Where
 would tests go for Harmony API's that are not part of

 are still accessible ? Strictly speaking they are API as
  well as
being
 specific to Harmony.

 The main idea is to separate tests that must pass on any

 When these are separated we can e.g. easily validate
   implementation-
 independent tests by running them against RI. Actually I

[Stress tests] generator: looking forward

2006-05-19 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Alex,

Please, find the new version (0.2) and all previous versions here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ManageAttachments.jspa?id=12340105

Good. I like it (everyone likes when his suggestions are implemented
:-). So let me try to outline where we are in Harmony stress testing.

=== TEST DESIGN ===

   * Stress tests are built from simple building blocks according to
configuration strings.

   * Tests have junit interface.
   [Case study] Imagine someone puts tests into SVN which implements
different test interface. To reuse them we can add another generator to
convert these tests to junit interface.

   * Configuration string list is maintained manually. If we plan to use
junit runner to launch a sequent of the stress tests, then the most
straightforward model is to wrap configuration strings into junit test
cases and put documentation into javadoc for these test cases.

=== FURTHER STEPS ===

   * You wrote, stress test suite should generate relevant bugs. Since
usually stress behavior is unspecified, we need to introduce something
measurable instead of pass/fail result for the stress tests. See my
thoughts about a comparative approach below.

   * I will continue code reviews.

   * All should create tests and run them against Harmony VM and RI.
This would be a real-life testing for our approach.
 
=== COMPARATIVE APPROACH ===

The simplest example of comparative apporach is the following.
Tester: My test fails on Harmony VM and passes on RI. Please,
fix Harmony VM.
   
This usually does not work for stress tests.
Developer: Who told you that OutOfMemoryError should be thrown
in your thread? My finalizer thread is just a normal java thread, like
yours, and it can fail as well. You have a bug in your test. 

There are multiple reasons why we always will have such bugs in the
tests.
   * These bugs keep showing up. The time to fix all these bugs
regularly is too high.
   * Stress testing reuses tests which are usually not designed for
stress execution, for example, multithread execution.
   * These bugs are dependent on VM internal structure. Test authors do
not posess sufficient knowledge of the problem and the structure.
   * Sometimes Java is not rich enough.

How can we have a maintainable test product takung all this limitation
into account? We need to learn how to live with occasional failures of
the stress tests. This means, instead of fail, the test should better
report how good it is on Harmony VM compared to RI:
   * Failures with the worst relative metric can be evaluated first.
   * We can detect that a relative metric for a test worsened on the
recent build.

Developers are better convinsed to fix the worst issue or
dergadation instead of some issue.

Now let me list here several metrics for each test.
   * Pass rate: assuming the test is 100% reliable on RI we can
calculate a percentage of failures.
   * Number of times the test can be executed sequentionally before a
fail.
   * Memory consumption: a generator can preallocate more and more
memory before launching the test in a loop.
   * Max threads supported: a generator can exponentially increase
number of threads launching the test in parallel.
   * Here is your metric.
   * Execution time: have you noticed that all this apparatus is quite
close to performance testing methodology? There is no need to compete
with them in their field though. :-)

The thing I like most about this approach is it can be introduced on a
stress test generator level.

RE: [build-test-infra] Build Test Infrastructure

2006-08-17 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Vladimir,
I was trying a buildtest module from svn repository.

You wrote,
When I tried to run it for the first time I saw problems with get
and svn commands - they did not work in my environment due to:
 - no proxy settings for get and exec svn command.
 - some problems with my certificate for apache site.

Is there any progress with making get command work? I tried to make it
work.

1. I succeed to make get work through proxy by changing cc/config.xml
(= config/config-full.xml) in a following way:

schedule interval=300
ant antWorkingDir=projects/classlib/trunk
target=fetch-depends
jvmarg arg=-Dhttp.proxyHost=***.com/
jvmarg arg=-Dhttp.proxyPort=***/
/ant
/schedule

2. Setting CC_OPTS (like ANT_OPTS) doesn't help me to rewrite the
configuration file in a following way.
schedule interval=300
ant antWorkingDir=projects/classlib/trunk
target=fetch-depends
jvmarg arg=-Dhttp.proxyHost=${http.proxyHost}/
jvmarg arg=-Dhttp.proxyPort=${http.proxyPort}/
/ant
/schedule

So I've created config/cc.properties and used
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
 cruisecontrol
+property file=cc.properties/

Using this approach I managed to make classlib-deps and drlvm-deps. Do
you think this is a correct direction to develop proxy support?


BTW, why the config file is called config-full.xml? I prefer to call it
cc-config.xml.

  4.   Full testing - the whole set of Harmony tests are run on

  Goal: to see what happened with Harmony quality on the whole set of

  Users should be able to do this kind of testing on their specific

  and publish results on Harmony web site.
  This script (prototype) I implemented, see issue 984.

 I thought that the classlib tests are run as well w/ the CC script
right
 now, but will check.


Yes, but I hope in the future we will have more test suites
(functional,
stress etc).
Will we run all of them in code integrity testing? - I suppose no, once
we
see that running all tests takes more then hour.

 text/BidiWrapper issue?

  Key: HARMONY-100
  URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-100
  Project: Harmony
 Type: Bug
 Reporter: Vladimir Gorr


 Let's consider the following test:

 import java.text.Bidi;
 public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  Bidi bd = new Bidi(new char[] { 's', 's', 's' }, 0,
  new byte[] { (byte) -7, (byte) -2,
(byte) -3 },
  0, 3,
Bidi.DIRECTION_DEFAULT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
  System.out.println(Expected 7, real  +   +
bd.getLevelAt(0));
  }
 }

 In my opinion the JNI implementation of Bidi (text/BidiWrapper.c
file,
ubidi_1setPara() function) contains a potential bug, namely:
 1. If  the embeddingLevels  argument is not NULL then
_embeddingLevels
variable is initialized with the JNI GetByteArrayElements() function;
 2. ICU function (ubidi_setPara) initializes ICU inner structure and
puts
the _embeddingLevels into it;
 3. If _embeddingLevels pointer is not NULL then the JNI
ReleaseByteArrayElements() function (with 0 as fourth parameter) is
called.
 This function releases the memory (according to JNI
specification)
the _embeddingLevels pointer refers to;
 4. After that ICU inner structure isn't initialized properly. Call of
ICU
ubidi_getLevels() function can return incorrect values (see java test
above).

 It seems the JNI_COMMIT parameter instead of 0 should be passed to
the
ReleaseByteArrayElements() to avoid this problem.

 I'd like to underline the test mentioned above works w/o any issues
for
Harmony-14 contribution (although it shouldn't sometimes IMHO).
 Therefore if there are any doubts in my argumentation this issue can
be
closed as invalid.

 It seems you didn't run the *build.bat update* before starting the build.

 We need to run the following steps (sorry if you're aware about this):

 - svn checkout classlib
 - svn checkout drlvm
 - build classlib (cd classlib/trunk; ant fetch-depend; ant)
 - cd drlvm/trunk/build
 - build.bat update (you need to slightly some time here :-) )
 - build.bat

 Thanks,

RE: [general] Dynamic class loading

2006-10-06 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Hello, Nathan,

Had Nikolay said anything about JVM modification? As far as I understand
him the class library should be just enhanced with this smart class
loader.

Now imagine how our reproducers would look in JIRA:

java -cp http://svn.apache.org/...
-Djava.system.class.loader=org.apache.harmony.Nikolagent TestClass

Just cut  paste it in your console with Harmony JRE in PATH!
Nikolay's class loader will manage dependencies in the class path (or
should I call it source path now?), download required source files to
the temporary cache, compile them and execute.

This class loader can even decide should it launch the test via TestNG
runner or JUnit. It can understand OSGi bundles. It can download binary
modules from maven repositories worldwide.

We can even think of distributed test execution over computers of
Harmony community members. This can be a protocol for you to test your
changes on Pavel's Linux if Pavel sets some security checkbox in his
Harmony JRE allowing a trust mode for test requests from Harmony
committers. 

Doesn't this sound cool?

Alexei Fedotov,

  When executing any application, if MyClassLoader does not find

  The second improvement which I propose to develop is to load jar
file
from

  MyClassLoader may cache compiled classes and loaded jars.
MyClassLoader
may
  use standard and Eclipse compiler to compile sources. Also
MyClassLoader
  may
  compile on fly other sources (like Jasmin). The base of my tool

  existing URLClassLoader in Harmony.
 
 
  What do you think about my proposals?

 hmmm, I've thought about implementing something like this several
times
 myself but I don't think you need to modify a JVM to achieve
that,
 you can just execute a loader class that than knows your source
path
 and has access to a nice compiler and does compilation at class
loading
 time.

 or am I wrong?

   Commenting on (1) I should note, that VM generally can't
determine
the fact
   of initiating class loading; it can only be done in Java
(except
bootstrap
   class loader, of course).
  I presume you mean cases of direct calls to loadClass() from
executed
  Java code. Well, the same way VM loads array classes on its own,
not
  resorting to Java loader instance. So AFAIU, neither VM nor Java
have
  100% chance to register initiating loading singly on their own.
 
 Hey, I found the clear specification on (1)! Look at JVMS 2nd ed,
Para
 5.3.2 - 5.3.3, it reads:
 First, the Java virtual machine determines whether L has already
been
 recorded as an initiating loader of a class or interface denoted by
N.
 If so, this class or interface is C, and no class creation is
 necessary.
 Otherwise the Java virtual machine invokes loadClass(N ) on L.

[0] http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-
edition/html/ConstantPool.doc.html#79441

 So this is definitely bug of DRLVM, which should be fixed mainly on
VM
 side. And we may want to think how to avoid data duplication in VM
and
 kernel classes on this matter...

   AFAIK, there is the bug: DRLVM does not record initiating class
loader of a
   class. (1) is just the consequence.
  Not really. After H-1363 (aka BBC), j.l.ClassLoader records
initiated
  classes. There may be some holes in impl (e.g. for array classes),
but
  kernel classes fulfill API contract in general.

Folks,
   
Would you mind to spend some time looking at HARMONY-1688? Good
knowledge of classloading and security machinery is an
advantage :)
   
In short, we face 2 issues in DRLVM:
1) DRLVM itself is not aware of classes initiated (in contrast
to
defined ones) by a loader, and always delegates to Java classes
for
lookup (except bootstrap loader, of course). This is not really
queer
behaviour, but seems incompartible with most VMs. BTW,
currently
this
affects implementation of jvmtiGetClassLoaderClasses(), which I
believe has a bug - it returns defined classes only.
2) j.s.AccessController of DRLVM treats system classes (i.e.
loaded
by
bootstrap loader) equally with application classes while
examining
execution stack, while RI seems to be simply skipping them. In
other
words, DRLVM would always perform
ProtectionDomain.checkPermission()
with AllPermission for bootstrap classes, and RI will omit such
check
if no user classes on stack. This potentially may produce
subtle
effects in security-exigent areas.
   
Also, both can be considered from performance perspective,
probably
having somewhat negative impact.
What do you think, how will we resolve this?

 The functions should be called only from suspend enabled state,

 deadlocks. The other problem is: hythread_suspend_other() should also
 utilize  hythread_global_lock() as the hythread_suspend_all() do via
 hythread_iterator_create(), otherwise this two functions can deadlock
 either.

 I have made a patch, but the assertion for suspend_disable_count

 almost in every test. I'm continue hunting the bug.

Mikhail,

I already got several personal feedbacks about these comments. I accept
that they are not good. 

I tried to express an idea that JIRAs marked with this comment prevent
getting 100% pass rate on DRLVM. When I search for

Any suggestions how the comment should like? My only requirement is to
keep Unit_Tests_Pass_on_DRLVM lexem in this comment.

Hello, Alex,
Welcome aboard!

If you are looking for the task, please, don't miss the page
http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/Unit_Tests_Pass_on_DRLVM. You can join
fixing DRLVM bugs.

Another interesting thing to do is to start your favorite Java app using
Harmony - this probably would require a fair amount of bug fixing as
well.

Unfortunately I did not manage to upload attachments to H-1751; got the

Mikhail, Alexey,

I have double checked reasoning about H-1309, H-1670. Alexey's solution
is good with me, though I see one more option.

If RI and J9 have a bug, shouldn't we correct the test in a way it would
fail on these VMs? What do you think?

Too many Alexe[i|y]s on the list %).

[snip]
 BTW, what is the reason to remove a part of the test? Are the checks
invalid
 or VM-specific?

OK, let me answer this particular question:
Yes, the removed check is invalid but passes on some JREs (VMs). In
short, top level class permitted to access any members of a nested
class, including private ones, while the check expects
IllegalAccessException to be thrown.
There is a comment in JIRA's description:
1) the check is invalid, see HARMONY-1309 for details; 
Indeed, the HARMONY-1309 contains exhaustive information, including
reference to JLS and Sun's bug database.

If there are other misunderstandings, I hope we can resolve them
privately.

Geir,
I reviewed the patches for HARMONY-1816 (non-daemon thread counting is
done
more accurately) and for HARMONY-1823 - the fix is to clean patches are
good.

I believe the patches worth to be committed: I've tried the patches for
running tests from luni module 162 times and get the following results:

RE: [classlib]97.16% tests of Apache Ant passed on Harmony

2006-10-14 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Tony,
Let's try and converge our visions. BTW, I really like your work about ANT unit 
tests.

What I want is a more flexible one
Could you please give more details on that? I just tried looking for '.ant.' 
and got your results separated. What would be a use case to add more search 
capabilities?

I could imagine enhancing our system with something differentiating class 
library tests and ANT tests, say a pointer to a test source repository. Is it 
what you are talking about?

not sure I catch you, do you mean search the *substring* as keywords
in the *Search for test:* ? It shows me all results whose name
contains a *substring*.

What I want is a more flexible one, not only designed for recording
test of harmony itself, but also for other applications. So the
category may includes harmony, ant, derby, etc. Or let's input it
ourselves.

BTW, is it a good idea to add an option - RI into the JVM column? ;-)

RE: [j9][testing] some classlib unit tests fail

2006-10-16 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Hello Boris,

I'm not an expert in security. I even couldn't keep a pin of my credit
card secured from my wife. :-)

Anyway, few weeks ago I faced a problem with tests which failed due to
java.policy file forgotten by a release engineer in his home directory.

We decided that changing the java.security.policy property and invoking
refresh() is a hacker style, so we had to write our security manager
implementation. I have just checked that the guy who actually made the
fix implemented the property hack.

That is why I vote for the second choice. It is much simpler and we can
migrate to the first method later if needed.

Does it make sense?

With best regards,
Alexei Fedotov,

Subject: Re: [j9][testing] some classlib unit tests fail

The tests mentioned in HARMONY-1674
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1674 depend on default
system policy file.
But if user policy file exists than, according to the spec, it is
added to system policy. It leads to the tests failures.

There are two options:
1. Rewrite the tests.
2. Use '-Djava.security.policy' to specify policy file and ignore
all
others:
-Djava.security.policy==${java.home}/lib/security/java.policy

I suggest the second one.
Comments?

Hello Gregory,

I'm ok to exclude the tests. From the other side I believe we can
achieve a fair progress against deadlocks just by applying patches
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1741 (understood),
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1823 (tried).

There is also a Windows-specific patch at

committers, in alphabetical order  :

Oliver Deakin
Richard Liang
Alexey Petrenko
Gregory Shimansky
Alexey Varlamov
Alexei Zakharov

These six individuals have shown sustained dedication to the project,
an
ability to work well with others, and share the common vision we have
for Harmony. We all continue to expect great things from them.

Gentlemen, you don't have accounts yet.  When you finally receive your
new committer account information, as a first step to test your
almighty
powers of committitude, please update the committers page on the
website.  That should be a good  (and harmless) exercise to test if
everything is working.

Things to do :

1) test ssh-ing to the server people.apache.org.
2) Change your login password on the machine
3) Add a public key to .ssh so you can stop using the password
4) Set your SVN password  : just type 'svnpasswd'

At this point, you should be good to go.  Checkout the website from svn
and update it.  See if you can figure out how.

Also, anything checked out of SVN, be sure that you have checked out
via
'https' and not 'http' or you can't check in. You can switch using svn
switch. (See the manual)

Finally, although you now have the ability to commit, please remember :

1) continue being as transparent and communicative as possible.  You
earned committer status in part because of your engagement with others.
 While it was a  have to situation because you had to submit patches
and defend them, but we believe it is a want to.  Community is the
key
to any Apache project.

2)We don't want anyone going off and doing lots of work locally, and
then committing.  Committing is like voting in Chicago - do it early
and
often.  Of course, you don't want to break the build, but keep the
commit bombs to an absolute minimum, and warn the community if you
are
going to do it - we may suggest it goes into a branch at first.  Use
branches if you need to.

3) Always remember that you can **never** commit code that comes from
someone else, even a co-worker.  All code from someone else must be
submitted by the copyright holder (either the author or author's
employer, depending) as a JIRA, and then follow up with the required
ACQs and BCC.

Again, thanks for your hard work so far, and welcome.

The Apache Harmony PPMC

IMHO the correct ECJ jar should be located at
classlib/trunk/depends/jars/ecj_3.2/ecj.jar

You may also try to increase java heap size by setting ANT_OPTS
variable to something like -Xmx512M.

 All,
 I did a fresh svn checkout an hour ago.  During build, I saw the
message,
 ...please place ECJ.JAR in ANT_HOME/lib and did what it said.
Given a
 JAVA_HOME=.../jdk1.5.0_07, there may be more to it than just copying
a
jar
 file.  My guess is that adding ECJ.JAR to Sun javac is now causing
the
 following error message:

[javac] --

 I looked for a README file that says something about which Eclipse
compiler
 to download and where to get it.  Or if it is already downloaded,
where
to
 find it on my local drive.  A find of README files on
classlib/trunk
turns
 up 2052 instances.  If its in a README, its well obscured!  Please
tell
me
 where the instructions are for downloading the correct version of
Eclipse
 compiler.  It might be good to add where to find Eclipse compiler to
the,
 ...please place EJC.JAR message.

HARMONY-1752: patch review

2006-10-18 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Hello Ilya,

 

I really like your patch from
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1752. Let me participate in
a way I'm able to.

 

I cannot say why calling free(send_buf) when send_buf == NULL makes me
feel a bit uncomfortable. I also prefer a descriptive name for a label
cleanup1 (eg cleanup_buf). 

 

I tried to track that guy who used cleanup labels in his C code.

 

modules/luni/src/main/native/luni/linux/OSNetworkSystemLinux.c:

The Linux version seems to contain exactly the same problem as you fix
in modules/luni/src/main/native/luni/windows/OSNetworkSystemWin32.c

 

modules/luni/src/main/native/luni/shared/luniglob.c

cleanup:

if (props) {

properties_free(PORTLIB, props);

}

if (bootDirectory) {

hymem_free_memory(bootDirectory);

}

The first if always fails if we come here using goto - we can put the
label after the first if. I suggest replacing the second if with
assert(!bootDirectory)

 

modules/archive/src/main/native/archive/shared/jarfile.c:

zip_freeZipEntry is not called on some paths - is it a memory leak?

 

modules/luni/src/main/native/launcher/shared/main.c

  if (vm_args.options)

{

  hymem_free_memory (vm_args.options);

}

Should we put here assert(!vm_args.options)?

 Thanks, Andrew, IMO it is more convenient way that I've suggested.
The
 problem was really that existed code was trying to free fdset_read,
that
 wasn't NULL (we went to the 'cleanup' label before fdset_read
 initialization).
 I'll update patch for H-1752.


The updated patch looks fine. :)

Subject: [classlib][test] Configuration dependent test of
InetAddress.getHostName

I have researched issue H-1664 and found one more difference with RI.
I run simple test on Windows Server 2003 SP1

=== Test =
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException
{
System.out.println(by name (127.0.0.1) -  +
InetAddress.getByName(127.0.0.1).getHostName());
System.out.println(by name (localhost) -  +
InetAddress.getByName(localhost).getHostName());
System.out.println(by address -  +
InetAddress.getByAddress(new byte[]{127, 0, 0, 1}).getHostName());
System.out.println(localhost -  +
InetAddress.getLocalHost());
}

}

Windows Server 2003 SP1
=== RI ==
by name (127.0.0.1) - 127.0.0.1
by name (localhost) - localhost
by address - 127.0.0.1
localhost - nstdrlew21/10.125.122.60

= Harmony ==
by name (127.0.0.1) - nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com
by name (localhost) - localhost
by address - nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com
localhost - nstdrlew21/10.125.122.60

WinXP
= Both ===
by name (127.0.0.1) - localhost
by name (localhost) - localhost
by address - localhost
localhost - pbwdmkishen/10.125.132.226


Actually Harmony use native call of getnameinfo() to get host name
(which is reasonable IMHO). MSDN says The getnameinfo function
provides name resolution from an address to the host name.

InetAddressTest.test_getHostName (see H-1664) failed on WinServer
because InetAddress.getByName(127.0.0.1).getHostName() returned
nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com while localhost expected. So this test
looks like configuration dependent.

I see three possible options
1. Stay test as is. Just keep in mind that on specific configurations
this one fails.
2. Rewrite test to be configuration dependent. Test has to do the same
native call.
3. Exclude localhost checking from test_getHostName.

What do you think about this situation?

Alexei, I'm watching at the latest sources from the svn and I'm not
sure we
need make changes to OSNetworkSystemLinux.c. The problem was in freeing
uninitialized fdset_read pointer. In the OSNetworkSystemWin32.c initial
value was undefined and in the OSNetworkSystemLinux.c it is set to
NULL.
Thus linux native looks fine for me.

 svn export does just the right thing.  It takes only the stuff you

Thoughtless fixes considered harmful Was: [OT] Automated fixes considered harmful

2006-10-20 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Alex,

This is a great letter! I cannot compete. I agree with the main point
that no change should be done until the proper understanding of
consequences is achieved.

Nevertheless, from my perspective automatic tools are pretty good for
locating problematic places, and each place usually worth deletion or
simplification.

I agree that if a part of the code is kept for purpose, automatic tools
can destroy it. From the other side, if we check your example, the
following commenting solves the problem.

// int i;
// i=someMethod() TODO Fix the bug in someMethod()

I have even a stronger suggestion - we should remove the commented code
leaving only a message for human beings.

I was convinced once that it is always better to remove all dead and
commented code. There are many guys who will spend time traversing dead
code, while usually only one guy benefits from keeping it.  His tangible
benefit is measured in saved efforts from retrieving a previous revision
from a version control system.

I suggest that we better save the time for many readers instead of the
time of one lazy writer. I'm ok with leaving a human readable message in
a place of a bug or exceptional behavior. For example, in our case I
would write:

// TODO someMethod() behaves weirdly in case of OutOfMyResourceError.
// Fix the behavior.

The example about conditional statements is even better. I remember that
reordering if statements sometimes decreased my code size to quarter.

Here goes the rule number two. If an automatic tool corrupted a part of
my code, I would either reconfigure the tool, or stop using it for this
part of the code.

Subject: [OT] Automated fixes considered harmful

There have been a few messages recently regarding build warnings that
complain about e.g. local variables not being used or missing
annotations, and work going on to 'fix' them.

However, in most cases, the only thing that is being 'fixed' is that
the compiler warnings no longer appear. Realistically, it's not a
problem in the code; in fact, the code works fine with those warnings
in place. Arguably, therefore, the code is being fixed to suit the
compiler, rather than the compiler being configured to be more useful
(i.e. less verbose).

Of particular beef are the kind of automated clean-ups that IDEs such
as Eclipse will offer. These are mostly incredibly dangerous, and
offer no significant benefit to Harmony as a whole. Some of them are
benign (for example, updating the list of imports) and some of them
aren't (deleting private methods, unused variables etc.). The problem
is that unless you've got a good idea of the code at any one point,
performing automatic transformation of the codebase is not a sensible
plan.

Whilst the fact of the matter is true that it doesn't affect code
execution (because private methods *aren't* being called, or a local
variable *isn't* being read), it doesn't make sense to do it
necessarily. For example, one could argue that removing all the
JavaDoc from the source files has no effect on the code, and has the
added advantage that the size of the source code is smaller -- but
that doesn't make it a sensible thing to do.

In particular, there's a lot of areas in the code that are pretty
dynamic, and are still evolving. For example, I could be writing
something like:

int i;
i=someMethod();

and then want to commit it to the repository. Let's say I discover a
bug in someMethod(), so I instead do:

int i;
//i=someMethod() //TODO Fix the bug in someMethod()

Now, automated tools will complain that i is being unreferenced
(possibly even uninitalised too :-) and volunteer to take it out. The
problem is then, after I've committed and worked on my code, I have:

int i;
i=someMethod() // Fixed bug

and someone else has committed Auto-Delete, so that when I update it
becomes:

i=someMethod() // Compiler error, i doesn't exist

The problem is that the person who ran Auto-Delete only saw a snapshot
of the source code. Yes, *at that point in time* the variable wasn't
being defined, but by removing it, you've effectively removed it from
versions in the future, too. It's even worse with a private method,
because then you've lost a lot more than a simple variable
declaration.

The same thing is true of the Auto-Generics that some people have
become fond of. Really, get over it: generics don't save anything that
you wouldn't have in code anyway (they're pretty much all compile-time
restrictions anyway; there's still no type safety at run-time like
there is in C#). Worse, Generics can only be used with Java 5 onwards,
so by introducing generics into a library you're preventing that same
library being used on anything older than Java 5. Granted, most of
Harmony is working towards the Java 5 goal, but I'm sure there will be
reusable parts of

Alex,
I see and accept your point. I believe that partial commits are a must -
we should be a community.

My point is simple - the code under active development shouldn't be a
subject of beautification - it just should be safe for other Harmony
modules. The first goal is to make it work.

 I agree that if a part of the code is kept for purpose, automatic
tools
 can destroy it. From the other side, if we check your example, the
 following commenting solves the problem.

 // int i;
 // i=someMethod() TODO Fix the bug in someMethod()

This was a contrived example; the point is, I might be submitting a
checkpoint for the work that I'm doing, and have put the var in there
for a good purpose. For example, it might be a field of a class that
has been put together by design/necessity, even if it's not being used
as of the checkpoint that you're looking at.

As an obvious case, there are some fields that are defined in the
pack200 class that aren't used yet, mostly because I haven't got
around to the parts in which those aspects are being parsed out.
However, I put them in there as part of the analysis of what was
needed, and I know that they will be used in the near future. There's
no point having them commented out; in fact, whilst coding, I want to
be able to use them via code assist.

I shouldn't have to sanity check and defend against what others might
do to the code. There's also a similar danger that someone would
remove those comments :-)

 I have even a stronger suggestion - we should remove the commented
code
 leaving only a message for human beings.

Indeed, that's the big problem. I'm working on that set of code -- it
shouldn't be deleted. It's a work-in-progress. Deleting it and leaving
a message Your Code Was Here is counterproductive.

 I suggest that we better save the time for many readers instead of
the
 time of one lazy writer. I'm ok with leaving a human readable message
in
 a place of a bug or exceptional behavior. For example, in our case I
 would write:

 // TODO someMethod() behaves weirdly in case of
OutOfMyResourceError.
 // Fix the behavior.

So, you'd prefer it if I didn't submit code which wasn't 100%
complete? I'm fine with that ... but it'll be a long time before I
complete the spec -- and if someone in the meantime removes some of
the fields that I haven't yet parsed, it will still break when I
update (or any of my further changes are committed).

A warning does *not* indicate laziness. Nor does wanting to submit
smaller regular patches of incomplete work for others to look at or
improve. However, improvement doesn't include deleting code that
people are still working on.

  Actually Harmony use native call of getnameinfo() to get host name
  (which is reasonable IMHO). MSDN says The getnameinfo function
  provides name resolution from an address to the host name.
 
  InetAddressTest.test_getHostName (see H-1664) failed on WinServer

  nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com while localhost expected. So this test
  looks like configuration dependent.
 
  I see three possible options
  1. Stay test as is. Just keep in mind that on specific
configurations
  this one fails.
  2. Rewrite test to be configuration dependent. Test has to do the
same
  native call.
  3. Exclude localhost checking from test_getHostName.
 I think Harmony does the right thing as spec requires, the difference

the

non-bug
 difference together with getHostName()'s different behavior when
 SecurityManager presents[1](thanks Alexei Fedotov helped to find this

 Harmony-73 is another issue, which is actually caused by HARMONY-84

RE: [drlvm][crash] Cannot run anything on Linux

2006-10-27 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Geir,

I'm not very happy to report that after some class library patch around
23 of October DRLVM no longer works on SUSE Linux 9.0. This happened
before you committed that big set of DRLVM patches.

All works fine on Ubuntu. I tried two SUSE computers and built from
scratch.

Are there any success stories about recent SUSE builds?

RE: [classlib][luni] signalis interruptus in hysock

2006-10-30 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Geir, All,

I have examined class library code. It seems that the solution we
invented (return EINTR, then loop) was always in place. :-)

Few comments on understanding:
1. EINTR (=4) is renamed to HYPORT_ERROR_SOCKET_INTERRUPTED (=-9).
2. The loop is coded by means of goto select.
3. The same pattern is dupdupduplicated several times.

I have not examined all places, though there could be paths which do not
fit the pattern. Honestly, I have examined the only path:

pollSelectRead() -
hysock_select_read() -
hysock_select()

Summary:
We can keep this issue open or close it as won't fix. Meanwhile we
should look for the real problem.

Yes, that's what I had the other do (and no, I see no reason to print a

Isn't it just a simple inlining? I accept that inlining in Java is a bit

A preprocessor looks a possible choice for maintaining several profiles

There is one more option. Can we use a good source control system

Hello

JVMTI implementation is quite a big piece of drlvm code which doesn't
have
any
tests that are ran regularly. This may create regressions in JVMTI
implementation which won't be caught early. So I want to add several
small
tests for JVMTI which would cover most of the currently implemented
functionality.

The specific of such tests is that they have to have a custom command
line,
to
specify -agentlib:agent name library. They also require to build
native
code. They need to be run in default (JIT) mode and on interpreter.

Current tests which we have for commit checks for drlvm don't have
these
features out of the box. Cunit tests build native code, but don't run
java
executable. Smoke and kernel tests don't have native code and don't
have a
custom command line.

So I should either create a new 4th category for tests with custom
build
file,
or extend one of the current categories which we have. The most close
to
what
I need is probably smoke tests category. I need to add building native
code
part and add a custom command line setting somewhere.

Or do you think I should go with completely new tests category?

RE: [classlib] Preprocessor

2006-10-31 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Geir,
We use SVN.  How do you propose to do it cleanly in SVN?

I believe it is possible to maintain branches cleanly in SVN.

Let me claim that the only significant difference between SVN and
advanced source control systems is a set of scripts which help merging
and moving files around.

Why do I call it a set of scripts? For example, the file movement
history in S*n TeamWare is kept in specially formatted commit comments.
Three way merge was a separate program, which was invoked instead of vi
for merge. I liked that product because they really thought about user
experience when were creating it, and not because of a questionable
implementation of that product.

If we miss a specific desired user experience working with SVN, we
better start looking for a system on the top of SVN which has this
feature implemented, or tune our environment with a minor script. This
would cost us less than creating a completely new stack for a
preprocessor.

Let me also add that people are always the key. I completely stopped
using all IDE decorators for ST and switched to the command line
interface after two years of putbacks and bringovers. From the other
side it wasn't hard at all for a newbie to break that system.

:)

The support for tags that was discussed few weeks ago has been
implemented. Now every run has a set of tags associated with it.
Registered users can edit list of tags. When you view a run result,
you can search for run to compare this run with using tags . For
example, when you view run with tags

drl, msvc, windows, xp

it is possible to search for run with tags

ibm, msvc, windows, xp

and see the difference between two VMs.

Please excuse the mess in the order of the results - I've noticed the
effect only after deploy :)

It is possible to specify the list of tags when uploading new results.

I've tagged ~20-30 runs to experiment with.

I've also implemented a request to save user name between results
upload.

 * Should doxygen build documentation for inter-component interfaces?
 * What are components? I assume vm, jit, gc are out of the question. Is
am execution manager or an interpreter a separate component?
 * Should doxygen build documentation for each component like vm, jit,
interpreter, gc?
 * Should we put documentation into doc/component_doc dirs as class
library code does?
 * Should we use the same formatting as a class library documentation?
 * We don't need to process .cpp files in DRLVM source tree, do we?
 * Would each of these choices (inter-component documentation, component
interface documentation) be a separate configuration? If yes, should we
put each result into the separate directory?
 * Should doxygen process .java files in DRLVM source tree? 
 * Should the doxygen documentation be integrated with class library
documentation?
 * Do you expect to have inheritance diagrams? Do we need to download
Graphviz, or should we expect it preinstalled? 
 * A related question is how many platforms should we support. For
example, should I add downloading and compilation of Graphviz for my
SuSE Linux? 
 * Should we have different documentation for Windows and Linux?

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that there's no API reference documentation for Harmony
code - generated by Doxygen/Javadoc.  I guess many will agree that
having API reference is very useful and convenient.



This issue was discussed a while ago [1] for kernel classes and vmi
interface in classlib. We agreed to store the Doxygen docs on the
website by generating them manually from code and placing there. It
seems that the old version of the docs was removed from SVN but never
made its way to the website, so it's just NOWHERE now :-(. Let's fix
it!


AFAIU, we want to have the following:

1. Ability to generate docs locally from source code as part of
build - need to change existing build files or write new ones.
2. Ability to see docs on the website - manually copy a local
bundle of docs to the website and add a link. Geir has been planning to
include the website into the next snapshot; supplying ready reference
with it seem nice.

Volunteers?

I can work on item 2 for sure to get a nice config file and patch the
website to link to our new Doxygen API. Item 1 -fixing the build -
might
be more extravagant, so your aid's welcome ;)

comparison for the tests which names contain the specified substring. 

3. When I use Open in a new window for a list of tags, IE opens a copy
of the initial window. When I do a left click, there is no scroll bar at

 diff.do?method=viewid=72id2=80perPage=10

Maybe it's worth to add link 'download diff' that will allow to save
data in TSV format? I prefer TSV not CSV because it doesn't require
smart escaping. It's also possible to create tricky HTML files that
can be imported in Excel - this may look better - headers in bold,
multiple worksheets, etc.

 2. This can be used to compare our results against RI when the
quality
 of the test base is unknown.

Yes - I've added option 'RI' for results uploading. Tag 'ri' can also
be added so one will be able to compare run having 'windows, xp, sp2,
msvc, drl' tags with 'windows, xp, sp2, ri', etc.

I also think about about having tags for different test suites, for
example, 'axis' for Axis tests (already uploaded by Tony), 'eut' for
Eclipse Unit Tests, etc. This will allow to add new test suites to the
site with little efforts and make suites co-existing in parallel so if
someone is investigating failures of one suite, he doesn't see results
of others.

 Hello, Alexei, Vladimir and others:
 
 Please enjoy the new runs comparing functionality:
 
 http://harmonytest.org/diff.do?method=viewid=72id2=80
 
 :)
 
 The support for tags that was discussed few weeks ago has been
 implemented. Now every run has a set of tags associated with it.
 Registered users can edit list of tags. When you view a run result,
 you can search for run to compare this run with using tags . For
 example, when you view run with tags
 
 drl, msvc, windows, xp
 
 it is possible to search for run with tags
 
 ibm, msvc, windows, xp
 
 and see the difference between two VMs.
 
 Please excuse the mess in the order of the results - I've noticed
the
 effect only after deploy :)
 
 It is possible to specify the list of tags when uploading new
results.
 
 I've tagged ~20-30 runs to experiment with.
 
 I've also implemented a request to save user name between results
 upload.
 
 Please report bugs and send feature requests.

RE: [classlib][luni] signalis interruptus in hysock

2006-10-31 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Geir,
Tanks for your reply!

In code that calls the wrapper for the lowest-level select(), right?
Yes

pollSelectRead()  // loop is here
hysock_select_read()  // return code is propagated
hysock_select()   // EINTR is renamed to
HYPORT_ERROR_SOCKET_INTERRUPTED

I don't understand this - what do you see as the real problem?
Interruption from select due to signals is a fact of life under linux.

This is a good question. 100% agree with your statement. I will try to
reproduce connection failures on Linux right after overcoming my SuSE
Linux problems with running DRLVM. If there are no connection failures,
than there is no problem.

 I have examined class library code. It seems that the solution we

 Few comments on understanding:
 1. EINTR (=4) is renamed to HYPORT_ERROR_SOCKET_INTERRUPTED (=-9).

Yes, I did that in one place to have it fit into the portlib error code
set.  Someone may have done it in another.

 2. The loop is coded by means of goto select.

In code that calls the wrapper for the lowest-level select(), right?

 3. The same pattern is dupdupduplicated several times.

That's another issue entirely :)


 I have not examined all places, though there could be paths which do

 pollSelectRead() -

 Yes, that's what I had the other do (and no, I see no reason to

What's the concern about just using the prescribed branching pattern
for SVN? There are some other nice tricks like externals for pulling
in common files into the working copies of other branches (ala the
'concurrent' code in 'standard' that's pulled into 'enhanced' on
checkout). I would propose we at least attempt to go down a path of
investigating a branching.

Regardless, I think we need to settle on our exact requirement first,
before spending too much time on looking for a solution. For example,
if logging is a real requirement, but everyone agrees it can be done
via instrumentation (AspectJ, java.lang.instrument, etc), then are
there any other requirements that affect the actual source files
internally? If not, then could all of the other requirements be
fulfilled by judicious SCM use?

So, I would suggest we back up a little and just layout all of the
requirements first, so we can make sure everyone's in agreement about
the needs.

[NM] I'd give it a try. Please don't expect me to write a design doc
for

A volunteer can try doing some things important for you first, and then
add new features gradually.
[NM] yeah, I like the idea of a gradual step-by-step process.

 * Should doxygen build documentation for inter-component interfaces?
[NM] sure, and I guess it's the better-documented part ;)

 * What are components? I assume vm, jit, gc are out of the question.
Is
am execution manager or an interpreter a separate component?
[NM] see dev guide; we've thought components roughly match to top-level
folders:  EM, Interpreter, TM are all components. Not sure what to do
with the three GCs now, though.

 * Should doxygen build documentation for each component like vm, jit,
interpreter, gc?
[NM] It's my dream and very convenient. Getting Doxygen to run for
half-hour and get hung doesn't seem an attractive prospect. However, I
guess we can get some primitive build as a start and add
component-specific build targets later. For me, an ideal list of
targets
for Doxygen would be something like:
all - all headers for DRLVM/classlib (one of two, not both in one
bundle)
inter-component - headers in include/ folder basically. Do we have
any
high-level interfaces in other places? This could show the big
picture
and somehow map to the arch description.
component - headers for the component name specified.
We might concentrate on the first two now for simplicity and smaller
scope.

 * Should we put documentation into doc/component_doc dirs as class
library code does?
[NM] this is a complex issue. I know Geir has wanted to add website to
the snapshot. *Geir*, could you express your view on where to place
docs? I guess separating normal docs and autogenerated docs would
be
good, like the /doc/ folder for all files, with /doc/Doxygen/ subfolder
for API reference. When we are ready to build component-specific
reference, /doc/Doxygen/ can have subfolders for each.

 * Should we use the same formatting as a class library documentation?
[NM] why not? as I've noticed, default formatting is ok, but there are
many options you can enable/disable, e.g. diagram for class hierarchy.

 * We don't need to process .cpp files in DRLVM source tree, do we?
[NM] no, I guess not. A developer that needs explanation in .cpp would
rather look into the code, I guess.

 * Would each of these choices (inter-component documentation,
component
interface documentation) be a separate configuration? If yes, should we
put each result into the separate directory?
 * Should doxygen process .java files in DRLVM source tree?
 * Should the doxygen documentation be integrated with class library
documentation?
[NM] I hope we can have two different bundles. Otherwise, it'd take our
poor Doxygen a day to compile the docs :) we can cross-reference the
two
index.html files.
Can you estimate, how often you'd want to link from a vm header
description into classlib?

interpreter, gc?
[NM] It's my dream and very convenient. Getting Doxygen to run for
half-hour and get hung doesn't seem an attractive prospect. However, I
guess we can get some primitive build as a start and add
component-specific build targets later. For me, an ideal list of
targets
for Doxygen would be something like:
all - all headers for DRLVM/classlib (one of two, not both in one
bundle)
inter-component - headers in include/ folder basically. Do we have
any
high-level interfaces in other places? This could show the big
picture
and somehow map to the arch description.
component - headers for the component name specified.
We might concentrate on the first two now for simplicity and smaller
scope.

 * Should we put documentation into doc/component_doc dirs as class
library code does?
[NM] this is a complex issue. I know Geir has wanted to add website to
the snapshot. *Geir*, could you express your view on where to place
docs? I guess separating normal docs and autogenerated docs would
be
good, like the /doc/ folder for all files, with /doc/Doxygen/
subfolder
for API reference. When we are ready to build component-specific
reference, /doc/Doxygen/ can have subfolders for each.

 * Should we use the same formatting as a class library documentation?
[NM] why not? as I've noticed, default formatting is ok, but there are
many options you can enable/disable, e.g. diagram for class hierarchy

 What I meant was that it didn't seem like we came to a conclusion on
it
 - that if we had a general pre-processing solution, we could use that
 too for logging, rather than have two.

 The actual use-cases will help figure this out.

Here two typical some use cases, and some proposed solutions:

Problem
---
logging, and other situations where you really don't want to put the
additional source code in the main source files

Solution

use aspects  (Plug: you might want to give a look at the optimizing abc
compiler)


Problem
---
supporting a different API specifications/versions, such as j2me and
j2se1.4, in addition to the main version (e.g. j2se1.5)


Solution


This is a trickier problem.  We can divide the problem at two main
levels:

1- file/directory level
2- source-code level

At the file/directory level, each version (e.g. j2me, j2se1.4, ...)
might include additional files (relative to the main version), and
might
not include some files of the main version.  In other words, j2me might
not contain database APIs.

Managing file inclusion/exclusion can be done in various ways.

 a) ant based:  use distinct ant (sub-)files for each version.

   The problem is that IDEs (e.g. Eclipse) will most likely show some
   of the excluded files in its class/files browser.  This wouldn't be
   very elegant.  It also implies always compiling through ant files.

   Of course, one could develop Eclipse-specific configuration files to
   mimic the inclusion/exclusion of ant files, but then, this opens the
   door for discrepancies between ant vs eclipse inclusion/exclusion
   lists.  I don't like it.

 b) custom-tool based: the custom processing tool I proposed could also
   parse inclusion/exclusion lists, and use these lists to move files
   around, in addition to processing the content of unmoved files.

   For example, if class X of the main version is not part of j2me,
   process(j2me) would move this file to a subdirectory .streams/.

   If a class Y is not in the main version (the one used for svn
   ci), it resides in subdirectory .streams in the trunk.
   process(j2me) moves this file into the normal directory.

   As for IDEs, now you can configure them to automatically exclude
   .stream/ directories.

   Inclusion/exclusion could be managed in two ways:
   1- the processing tool could look for inclusion/exclusion list
files,
  such as j2me.inclusion, j2me.exclusion, main.inclusion,
  main.exclusion, etc.

  This would lead to the best performance (for process(X)), yet it
  does require much manual update of inclusion/exclusion lists,
with
  all the discrepancies that result from human mistakes while
  updating these files.

   2- (my preferred way), directives, at the beginning of the source
  code would indicate whether a file is included in a version or
  not.  Depending on target, the file would be moved to the
  appropriate directory (normal, .streams).


Of course, there's also the problem of non-source files, i.e.
resources.  IMO, resources could be managed using specific
directories (.main/, .j2me, .j2se1.4) and a .shared/
directory with symbolic links in the specific directories.


As for source-level management, you would use my proposed processing
tool to view the source files with the right spectacles [as Tim said so
elegantly:-)].  For development targets, it is important that:

 revert(process(X, target)) = X

By development target I mean a target that is meant for Harmony
developers in prevision of reverting modified code to a format
suitable for svn ci (i.e. revert to main target).

For comfortable IDE development, one could imagine that the IDE editor
can reduce to one-line visible comments (or better, specially
formatted ones) so that it gives you the impression that you are really
wearing target-specific spectacles.  [I know Eclipse allows for such
things already].

To release code, one would apply:

 process(X, release-target) = Y

Now, it is important to understand that Y, in this case, is NOT
suitable
for doing any modification as

 revert(Y) = Kaboom!  (The tool will simply report that it can't do
it;
it won't crash.)

Yet, I think that it would be important that the

We definitely need to improve our documentation. Necessity is not a

 Here is an algorithm:

 1. Create a list of words from HTML files.

 3. Remove a half of the most frequently used words from the
dictionary
 - I believe they do not add much sense.
 4. Remove misspelled words (including identifiers) from the

 5. Give a page +1 for each rare, correctly spelled word according to
 the dictionary.
 6. Divide to the total number of words on the page.

hm, strange heuristic. More unique correctly spelled words is
beneficial. It does not give a clue on the overall quality of
documentation, which is rather confusing..

I thought of something more natural. Number of documented items
vs. number of non-documented. Plus a penalty to the relative number of
misspelled words.

 I've collected nice RFEs from your letter. Most of them make me think
 and I like them.
 a. Update an ASF block comment
 b. Improve readability. Some things are really easy - like removing
 awk and rewriting most things in perl. Others are a bit more complex
-
 I targeted script performance when created auto-generated perl
script.
 Also, initial algorithm was a bit more complex - different words had
a
 different cost based on their popularity.
 c. Use junit test output format to integrate with
 http://harmonytest.org. I believe I need a feature request for that
 site as well - we need some way to import performance-like rankings
to
 the site.

Yes, I thought of the RFE to harmonytest. At least, put the doc items
on a separate page from the build items.

 d. I will think of parsing sources. But I don't think we need to
 maintain both scripts. The generic rule is simple - improve your .h
 and .java files - .cpp files don't count. I suggest better to link
 .html files to contributors.

can you calculate a list of relevant filenames from a doc page? give
filename +1 for each documented item, give a -1 for each undocumented,
divide on the number of items. Is it easy to implement?  Maybe doxygen
has some features to assist this?

 Thank you for ideas. I will certainly update the script. I just want
 to wait a bit - many scripts die just because people are not
 interested to run them a second time. Also, if anyone suggest any
 changes in algorithm or any other RFEs, I want to implement them all
 at once.

 Nadya, could you please point us a good documentation file so we can

 effort - it sets me back on earth and to work. I hope this rating
would
 also make owners of code more ambitious, and would inspire them to
write
 more/better comments to get a better rating :)

 Question on output measurement: can we rate source files or code
 elements (structure, functions, etc) instead of html files?
 My concerns:
 - Many html files are autogenerated, their rating is N/A. examples:
 todo.html, functions_vars_0x68.html (listing of links to functions in
 alphabetical order - there are many pages like that)
 - Some results are duplicated, because each struct/function has an
 individual rating + rating of the file/group reference it belongs to.
 - Some files have a high rating (see the top candidate, for example),
 but it's generated from comments marked with @page. These don't
belong
 to specific code, but create a narrative section. Evaluating these is
 complex, and perhaps, should not be done. My personal preference
would
 be to move such generic explanations to component docs on the website
 and reserve Doxygen docs to API reference as much as possible (this
is
a
 subject for further discussion).
 - the listing of files is SO LONG... grouping them by
 file/component/type or otherwise organizing the output would make the
 whole rating more readable. I mean, from the current version, I can
only
 make out the leaders (not files even, individual bits of them), and
 understand that the majority have 0 rating. This has its
instructional
 impact, but I cannot see the areas where we are the best - bearable -
 worst, or see the approx distribution of powers... missing that info
 leaves me without direction on what to do.

 Question on data presentation: do you think we can have some post
 processing of the raw data that your script produces - to see the big
 picture? We have some metrics: graphics, pie charts, anything. This
 would instantly show the most important conclusions. I could do such
 metrics and post them regularly on Wiki. If anybody says they need
such
 kind of info, I'd volunteer to help.

[ant] ant --noconfig helps disabling pre-installed ant rpm on Linux Was: [ant][classlib][em64t]Problems during classlib on em64t (revision 462753)

2006-11-05 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Hello,

Since my Linux died due to hardware problem I now abide at computers of
my friends. Pavel's computer showed the same ANT problem with missing
regular expression matcher. After some digging I found out that ANT
installed from RPM package has a priority over my ant from $ANT_HOME:

http://www.jayasoft.org/node/820

The problem happens because $ANT_HOME/bin/ant reads /etc/ant.conf which
sets rpm_mode=true unless --noconfig is set.

If you are not a root, you have a little chance to change /etc/ant.conf
or add something to pre-installed ANT's lib directory. I started looking
for workaround.

Supplying --noconfig option for $ANT_HOME/bin/ant worked for me.

RE: [drlvm] [testing] Excluding commit tests until the problem is fixed

2006-11-05 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Rana, Pavel (Afremov), All,

Geir's comment on r443504 (fix for
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1363 [drlvm] Java 1.5, 64
bit support, JVMTI improvements) reads:

 1) Stack overflow exception stuff is broken.  I had to remove the
assert
in signals_ia32.cpp line 336.  Rana knows and will look.  I also
disabled the StackTest.

I have noticed that the patch added a new function
exn_raise_by_name_internal which fails on the first invocation checking
an assertion about thread state, see 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2070 [drlvm][unit]
org.apache.harmony.beans.tests.java.beans.PersistenceDelegateTest
crashes DRLVM.

I also have noticed that this function is called to create
java.lang.StackOverflowError. 

Could you help me to understand the current status of the problem?

With best regards,
Alexei Fedotov,

I fixed the StackOverflow functionality problem by going back and
mapping
all pages ( guard, alternate stack ) meticulously before trying to
protect
them. I think we should have done this in the first place.  I also
cleaned
up the previous initialization workarounds and asserts Geir and I had
discussed on the JIRA. The Stacktest and all other stack related tests
now
pass.

I'll submit the patch against 1786 in the next few hours after running
acceptance tests.

   There is nothing wrong with the stacktest test itself. The

enough

I
am not
   sure if this is a regression, or if this ever worked. There is a
JIRA
issue
   1786. In summary, memory protection setup for the guard page
fails on
the
   main thread(only). So the guard does not work and the overflow is
not
   detected.
 
 
 mprotect fails with an ENOMEM which is either a mapping failure
or a
  kernel failure. mprotect() has some known flakiness it seems, as
per
  literature.
 
The basic implementation on Linux is sound. There are secondary
design
  issues,but we can only get to them later after we have figured out
why
the

RE: [jira] Good issue resolution guideline (was: [classlib]volunteer to supply patches for old JIRAs)

2006-11-05 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Alexey,

I started looking into this thread. Are guidelines on the web site
already? I failed to find them.

I thought about adding them to get-involved.html. Here are few problems
I've noticed:

1. The detail level of your instruction is somewhat different from
get-involved.html. This text is formal, while the text on the page is
quite informal.

2. If a guy has a test in a separate file, should he produce a patch
from such file and submit the patch? According to guidelines, the answer
is yes. According to my common sense patches are good when you modify
existing files. 

3. Why it is not suggested for an issue reporter to try localizing a
buggy module or even fixing the problem?

4. Item 4. of issue reporter guidelines doesn't contain enough details
for my taste. I believe links should be descriptive: 
   Link the issue to previous posts, JIRAs, RI bugs, etc.

5. The item 2.1 of resolution provider guidelines contains too many
details to my mind. Here should be something like a following text (for
all roles):
   a. Update JIRA once per day reporting your progress.
   b. Always keep the community posted.

6. The item 2.4 refers to class library build.xml as a main build.xml. 

7. You do not specify which unit tests should pass and which VM should
be used. Since the changes could affect DRLVM, I would say that all unit
tests should pass for DRLVM unless the fall into exclude list.
 
8. I believe a verification stage should happen before committer commits
a patch - this would save his time if the issue doesn't resolve the
problem.

Overall the text is great and worth to be posted in any case.

  Preface
  This guideline covers a wide range of issues but not all of them.
  If you cannot do one of the steps, then write a comment to the
issue.
  Use your common sense!
 
  Issue reporter:
  1. Explicitly state the expected behavior and the
  actual behavior of Harmony code. Use links to specs, rfcs, etc.
  2. Try to create as small a test case as possible. A patch
  to test will be highly appreciated.
  3. Provide max. information about steps necessary to recreate the
  bug.
  If a patch for the test has not been supplied, provide as much
  diagnostic information about the failure as possible (stack trace,
  failure output, expected output etc).
  4. Remember to use issue links if applicable.
  5. Check the issue resolution when it is committed. Add a comment.
 
  Resolution provider :) :
  Depending on the type of issue, do the following:
 
  1. Issue is probably a non-bug difference, not a bug or invalid:
1.1. Discuss on the dev list.
1.2. Add a link to the discussion thread as a comment to issue.
  2. Issue is a bug:
2.1. Notify the community that you started investigation by
adding
  a comment to the issue and send a message to dev list. If you
cannot
  produce a patch, add another comment with the results of your
  investigation.
2.2. If reporter did not provide a patch to test:
2.2.1. Try to create a patch to test.
2.2.2. If you cannot produce a patch, write a comment about
it.
2.3. Create a patch to fix the issue
2.3.1. Any concerns? Discuss on the dev list. Add a link to
  discussion as a comment.
2.4. All the pacthes (test and fix) should be relative to the
  directory where the main build.xml is:
  https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/harmony/enhanced/
  classlib/trunk.
  Or to the module root directory.
2.5. Test and fix patches should be in different files.
2.6. If the patch requires to add, remove or move some files in
the
  repository, add the appropriate script.
2.6. Check that all unit tests pass.
2.8. If it is an application-oriented issue, check the
application.
2.9. Remember to use issue links if applicable.

2006-11-06 Thread Fedotov, Alexei A
Alexey,

Thank you for your answer. Yesterday I tried to prepare an appropriate
patch for get-involved.html but faced several things I couldn't resolve
myself. I didn't criticize your text - I was thinking how to fit it into
get-involved.html. That is why I raised all these questions.

I still have one question which is important, to my mind. You wrote,
DRLVM is not the only Harmony VM. I think that developer can choose
which VM to use.

1.  As Geir says, we are small community, and we need to keep ourselves
concentrated. Can we give a recommendation to concentrate on one
specific VM assuming that VM which is shipped with Harmony 1.0?

2. What is the status of DRLVM smoke tests? As any tests written in java
they have a dependency from a class library. Do you think they should be
skipped while testing the patch?

Alexei Fedotov,

 Alexey,

No, this guideline is not published yet.
I'll do this in the nearest future.

 I thought about adding them to get-involved.html. Here are few

 I've noticed:
First of all
As you know patches are always welcome in Harmony :)

 1. The detail level of your instruction is somewhat different from

I do not see problem here.

 2. If a guy has a test in a separate file, should he produce a patch

answer
 is yes.
Do you mean in a new file? Yes, a new file should be provided as a
patch too. Why not?

 According to my common sense patches are good when you modify
 existing files.
Yes, they are good for modified files. And they also can be used for
adding and removing files.

 3. Why it is not suggested for an issue reporter to try localizing a
 buggy module
I think that points 2 and 3 are saying this.

 or even fixing the problem?
Nobody said that an issue reporter can not be a resolution
provider.


 4. Item 4. of issue reporter guidelines doesn't contain enough
details
 for my taste. I believe links should be descriptive:
   Link the issue to previous posts, JIRAs, RI bugs, etc.
Probably your sentence is better. Need to think.

 5. The item 2.1 of resolution provider guidelines contains too many
 details to my mind. Here should be something like a following text
(for
 all roles):
   a. Update JIRA once per day reporting your progress.
   b. Always keep the community posted.
What for? Why do you want to have DAILY posts on ALL the working
issues?
I think that we do not need to change anything here since comunity has
agreed on the list of notifications it wants to see. And all these
cases are described there.

 6. The item 2.4 refers to class library build.xml as a main
build.xml.
Patches are welcome :)

 7. You do not specify which unit tests should pass and which VM

DRLVM is not the only Harmony VM. I think that developer can choose

Yes, and nobody argue with this.

 Hello,

 Since my Linux died due to hardware problem I now abide at computers
of
 my friends. Pavel's computer showed the same ANT problem with missing
 regular expression matcher. After some digging I found out that ANT
 installed from RPM package has a priority over my ant from $ANT_HOME:

http://www.jayasoft.org/node/820

 The problem happens because $ANT_HOME/bin/ant reads /etc/ant.conf
which
 sets rpm_mode=true unless --noconfig is set.

 If you are not a root, you have a little chance to change
/etc/ant.conf
 or add something to pre-installed ANT's lib directory. I started
looking
 for workaround.

 Supplying --noconfig option for $ANT_HOME/bin/ant worked for me.

I have related question. How can we improve http://harmonytest.org to
make it possible to publish not just pass, fail, or error but numeric
test scores? 

How this is related to the letter? I believe that stress tests which
were mentioned in the letter may have scores in a way performance tests
do, see

Yes - and I still think that talk of a release is a bit premature right
now.

The key things that I believe we need to focus on are

  a) stability and

  b) completeness.

  c) reliability (which may be 'stability')

(and not always in that order :)


Things I'd like to see us do :

1)  We need to drive to fully working unit tests for both DRLVM and
classlib  (using DRLVM).  Great progress has been made in this area,
and
  we should probably make this a campaign for DRLVM as we did for
classlib.

2) Add stress tests

3) Get our CC-based build-test framework patched and running on as many
platforms as possible, reporting breakage into the list.

4) Identify problem areas and focus on them.  For example, threading in
DRLVM...

I do think of us having a 'zero regression' policy except in cases
where
we make the explicit decision to break.  (like we did with TM, for
example)


 I hesitate to say that again, but we also need to decide about VM we
 will use for that release. I like the following mission: Class

 Good idea!
 The only release I can imagine is Harmony Java5SE 100% compatible.
 To be Java5SE 100% compatible we need TCK first.

The

time
 JIT had to use an older version of DRLVM which could pass all commit
 criteria because newer versions suffered from regressions. And
finally we
 came to comon strict commit criteria which prevented regressions in
both
VM
 and JIT.

 To avoid regressions using DRLVM in classlib testing I see 3 possible

 1. Use one fixed DRLVM version which can pass 100% HUT test. Update
this
 version from time to time.
Pros: + Less time to run DRLVM pre-commit tests
  + Classlib does not suffer from regressions in DRLVM
Cons: - DRLVM will suffer from regressions
   - Classlib can not use the latest DRLVM
   - Need additional efforts to regain stability on DRLVM
 when we want to update the version for classlib
testing

 2. Add HUT to CruiseControl testing on DRLVM and rollback commits
causing
 regressions
Pros: + Less time to run DRLVM pre-commit tests
  + Classlib can use the latest DRLVM
Cons: - Classlib can suffer from DRLVM regressions (time lag

 rollback)
   - It is not always clear which commit caused a
regression
   - Rollbacks are costly

 3. Add HUT to the commit criteria for DRLVM
 Pros: + Classlib always can use the latest DRLVM
   + DRLVM has no regressions regarding to HUT
 Cons: - More time to run DRLVM pre-commit tests (I was told that
HUT
   take 25 minutes running in single JVM mode)

 I think that preventing a problem is better than solving it
afterwards.
So,
 I personally would choose the 3rd approach, don't mind against the
second
 and dislike the first one. Probably some combination of these is
possible.

While I appreciate the desire to keep things stable, I think it is
unreasonable to ask developers to run the entire test suite each time.
As we have seen in the classlib code, running targeted tests before
commit and leaving the build machines to run continuous tests ensures
that we are productive and are notified of breakages in time to easily
back out a patch and re-evaluate.

With the amount of machine time we have running harmony tests on
different cpu's/os's/compilers/etc we are getting better coverage than
any individual could be expected to provide.

Which is a long way of saying I think option (2) above is best -- and
relies on the bid machines letting us know if things break, and the
commitment from all of us to go straight in and fix it.

Tim

Ok, the alternative which comes to my mind next is the following. If I
understand correctly, Anton's site gets uploaded zip archives, processes
them and populates a database. From the outside we can see result sets
for database selections. 

Anton,
If you add a possibility to browse and download uploaded archives, this
would help to detect problems from the outside. One can compare uploaded
archives and selection results.

The only possible problem is if you don't keep archives after they are
processed. I don't think we should keep them for long either. I think
this worth to be done if you found this useful for debug feature for
yourself.

I'm proud to announce Melody, a testing dashboard for Harmony.

Melody is currently hosted in Geir's office at the currently transient
URL

 http://67.86.14.213:1/

My goal is to move part of this into the Harmony zone.

The main feature of Melody is a graphical history, which is
automatically generated every night out of fresh data.

The past has been 'reconstructed' by taking a snapshot of harmony every
week over the entire history of the project, compile it and running the
latest japitools over it.

I also run japitools without the checks for the SerialUI checks which
generate a lot of false positives for Swing stuff.

Plans for the future include:

 1) add a chart for the number of subscribers to the various lists (I
already have a script for this, but I need somebody with apmail karma
to
run it on the apache machine that handles our mail)

 2) add a chart for email traffic

 3) start performing static analysis on the code using tools like
findbugs, PMD and CPD
