Hi,

A minor point, but the Enum for LaunchMechanism can be simpler; the defined enum values (1,2,3)
are never used and can be removed along with the extra constructor.

They are used for the "mode" parameter of forkAndExec() native method.
yes, and could just as easily use the default ordinals (0,1,2).


With the refactoring so far, this seems more complex and harder to understand.

Other alternatives would have been to factor the common code (Streams handling) into a utilities class or ProcessImpl and retain the 1st class subclasses (with different names)
for each platform or merge more up into ProcessImpl.

Maybe it will be clearer with additional refactoring.

As I said, I believe the consolidation of various Input/OutputStream wrappers could bring the class files number and size further down.

yes, we can't stop yet. The only difference between the inner classes per platform is the choice of initializing the streams which could be handled with a switch instead
of a subclass.

Please continue, Roger




$.02, Roger

If you're concerned about class files included in the distributable, but not used, we can compensate this a bit by reducing the number of anonymous inner classes generated by javac just by replacing them with lambdas. Here's new webrev that does that too:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/UNIXProcess/webrev.05/

If UNIXProcess.java in above webrev is compiled, the following class files are produced:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 772 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$1.class// SwitchMap for Platform enum
I would have hoped that the extra class would not be needed for the private static enum, but then private isn't private when it is visible to inner classes! It is needed for separate compilation.
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 2706 Apr  2 12:33 UNIXProcess$AixProcess.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 2155 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$DeferredCloseInputStream.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 2930 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$DeferredCloseProcessPipeInputStream.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1166 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$LaunchMechanism.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 2701 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$LinuxOrBsdProcess.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 4762 Apr  2 12:33 UNIXProcess$Platform.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1711 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$ProcessPipeInputStream.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 949 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$ProcessPipeOutputStream.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1902 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$ProcessReaperThreadFactory.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 2935 Apr 2 12:33 UNIXProcess$SolarisProcess.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 6260 Apr  2 12:33 UNIXProcess.class

...12 class files totaling 30.2 KiB.

If original UNIXProcess.java.linux is compiled, for example, the following files are produced:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1648 Apr  2 12:25 UNIXProcess$1.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter  926 Apr  2 12:25 UNIXProcess$2.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter  865 Apr  2 12:25 UNIXProcess$3.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter  648 Apr  2 12:25 UNIXProcess$4.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1200 Apr 2 12:25 UNIXProcess$LaunchMechanism.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1711 Apr 2 12:25 UNIXProcess$ProcessPipeInputStream.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 949 Apr 2 12:25 UNIXProcess$ProcessPipeOutputStream.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 939 Apr 2 12:25 UNIXProcess$ProcessReaperThreadFactory$1.class -rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 1233 Apr 2 12:25 UNIXProcess$ProcessReaperThreadFactory.class
-rw-rw-r--. 1 peter peter 5626 Apr  2 12:25 UNIXProcess.class

...10 class files totaling 15,4 KiB

So it's ~15 KiB that we are talking about at this moment.

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.

Roger

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 Roger,

Well, it turns out the methods would like to stay in Os (renamed to Platform), but there is no need for per-enum-instance subclasses. Using enum constructor parameters and switch statements makes code even more compact and easy to follow...

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/UNIXProcess/webrev.04/


I belive there is still room for consolidating logic in various Input/OutputStream wrappers used in UNIXProcess variants. But in the first round I tried to preserve the exact behaviour. If the wrapping of streams could be made more-or-less equal in all UNIX platforms, then the need for UNIXProcess subclasses and/or overhead of support classes included but not used goes away...

Regards, Peter

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.
