Mac OSX testing was clean.

Hi Peter,

The design using enum for the os dependencies does not make it possible
to include only the support needed for a particular platform at build time. Every implementation will be carrying around the support for all the other platforms.
A build time binding would be more efficient.

That's true. A trade-off between maintainability and efficiency. The efficiency has two categories here. One is the size of the distributable and the other is run-time efficiency. I've been thinking to improve both efficiencies (the run-time in particular) with a little re-design. Since nearly each OS platform requires a sub-class of UNIXProcess to implement the differences, I can move the implementations of various methods now in Os enum to the UNIXProcess subclasses and get rid of Os enum per-instance subclasses.

Let me try this and see what comes out.

Hi Alan, Volker,

Thanks for sharing the info and for testing on AIX. Here's the updated webrev that hopefully includes the correct "dispatch on os.name" logic. I included "Solaris" as an alternative to "SunOS" since I saw this in some documents on Internet. If this is superfluous, I can remove it:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/UNIXProcess/webrev.03/

I tested this on Linux and Solaris and the java/lang/ProcessBuilder jtreg tests pass. So with Volker's test on AIX, the only OS platform left for testing is Mac OS X. Would someone volunteer?

Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

thanks for applying these changes to the AIX files as well.

With the additional line:

             if (osName.equals("AIX")) { return AIX; }

in Os.get() your change compiles cleanly on AIX and runs the
java/lang/ProcessBuilder tests without any errors.

So from an AIX perspective, thumbs up.

Regards,
Volker

I couldn't find any official document about possible os.name values for
different supported OSes. Does anyone have a pointer?
I don't know if there is a definite list but I assume we don't need to be concerned with anything beyond the 4 that we have in OpenJDK, which is
"Linux", "SunOS", "AIX" and contains("OS X").

If we get to the point in JDK 9 where src/solaris is renamed to src/unix (or something equivalent) then it could mean that the Os enum can be replaced with an OS specific class in src/linux, src/solaris, ... and this would
avoid the need for an os.name check at runtime.
