Hi all,

Building OpenJDK on Windows I am faced with the following error

---------------------------8<---------------------------
os_windows.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl 
convert_to_unicode(char const *,wchar_t * *)" (?convert_to_unicode@@YAHPEBDPEAPEA_W@Z) 
referenced in function "public: static void __cdecl os::set_native_thread_name(char const 
*)" (?set_native_thread_name@os@@SAXPEBD@Z)

That is strange. convert_to_unicode is a static function in os_windows.cpp so there is no reason for the linker to have any issue as far as I can see - and we have not seen any build issues locally. ???

I wonder if the forward declaration / prototype also needs to state static? can you try this change:

diff --git a/src/hotspot/os/windows/os_windows.cpp b/src/hotspot/os/windows/os_windows.cpp
index 6e996b11993..affe8a10265 100644

 // forward decl.
-errno_t convert_to_unicode(char const* char_path, LPWSTR* unicode_path);
+static errno_t convert_to_unicode(char const* char_path, LPWSTR* unicode_path);

 void os::set_native_thread_name(const char *name) {

Otherwise the simple fix would be to move the definition of convert_to_unicode to be ahead of set_native_thread_name() and get rid of the prototype.

But again I have no idea why we would not have seen this build problem locally. I will file a bug.

Thanks,
David

The issue was integrated with the patch 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/9f3c7e74ff00a7550742ed8b9d6671c2d4bb6041 
that fixes https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8238649 Call new Win32 API 
SetThreadDescription in os::set_native_thread_name
After reverting this commit the build completes successfully

Note Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt v16.8.5 is used for building

Is this issue actual for me only? - could not find any mentions about it (in 
maillists, JBS)
Could you please advice how it can be resolved?

Thanks in advance,
Vitaly
