Thanks all for your comments and feedback. Good point Martin. Those required backports will be my focus for the next little while.
Matthias, it seems you are the one with access to the Supported Build Platforms wiki (https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms) please update the xlc version number for jdk11 to 16.1 when you have a chance. I will follow up with changes to the notes section as well. Much appreciated :-) Tyler On Thu, 2022-03-24 at 16:41 +0000, Doerr, Martin wrote: Hi, a couple of backports are still missing.

JDK12 does not have the harfbuzz 2.8.0 backport so probably no need to change theSupported Builds document.

Hi Tyler, makes sense to me. Wrt the documentation, probably we should change the minimum requirement of jdk12 too then.

Early this week, I spent some time looking into this issue. My assessment is that AIX builds for jdk versions 11 and greater will need the at least xlc version 16.1 to support the Harfbuzz change. This is because full support for C++11 with xlc did not arrive on AIX until that version (little-endian support was complete in 13.1). For reference: "IBM XL C++ for AIX - Core language support status: C++11 partial in 13.1.3 and 16.1.0 (xlC frontend), complete in 16.1.0 (xlclang frontend)" [source: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.cppreference.com%2Fw%2Fcpp%2Fcompiler_support&data=04%7C01%7CMartin.Doerr%40sap.com%7Cd3f0270572af468ce8d708da0daedea0%7C42f7676cf455423c82f6dc2d99791af7%7C0%7C0%7C637837341969962435%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=pOIj2bZGkXyNs%2FnZaZeToyNTD8zT7qzXu%2FlTBiZ%2FGrg%3D&reserved=0> ] My expected course of action is as follows: - Bump the minimum requirements in our Supported Builds document [https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms<https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms>] - Open an issue with the Adoptium group to change their build for jdk11 and above to use the version 16 compiler. As I am still relatively new to AIX and OpenJDK development, so I value any suggestions for improvements, omissions you may have noticed, or generally other comments the team here may have. Tyler
