I filed an issue (Review ID: JI-9032181). In any case, I checked with Java 7, 8 and the ea:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+109-2016-03-09-181019.javare.4620.nc) The issue only affects Windows 10 (tested on 64-bit only), Windows 7 behaves fine. The following sequence is enough to get the stack trace: mkdir foo mklink /J bar foo java -cp . Test bar The Test.java code is: import java.io.*; import java.nio.file.*; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path p = Paths.get(args[0]); System.out.println("p.toRealPath(): " + p.toRealPath()); } } and the stack trace: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Should not get here at sun.nio.fs.WindowsNativeDispatcher.GetFinalPathNameByHandle(Native Method) at sun.nio.fs.WindowsLinkSupport.getFinalPath(WindowsLinkSupport.java:77) at sun.nio.fs.WindowsLinkSupport.getRealPath(WindowsLinkSupport.java:242) at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPath.toRealPath(WindowsPath.java:840) at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPath.toRealPath(WindowsPath.java:44) at Test.main(Test.java:10) Dawid On Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 12:28 PM, Alan Bateman <alan.bate...@oracle.com> wrote: > On 15/03/2016 11:19, Dawid Weiss wrote: >> >> I couldn't find an appropriate bug in bugzilla, but this fails >> reliably for me with Java 8 and 9 on Windows 10, 64-bit: >> >> mkdir foo >> mklink /J bar foo >> cd bar >> java -cp Test . >> >> where Test.java is as simple as: >> >> import java.io.*; >> import java.nio.file.*; >> >> public class Test { >> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { >> System.out.println("p.toRealPath(): " + >> Paths.get(args[0]).toRealPath()); >> } >> } >> >> The thrown error shows: >> >> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Should not get here >> at >> sun.nio.fs.WindowsNativeDispatcher.GetFinalPathNameByHandle(Native >> Method) > > There are a number of win32 functions that this code uses GetProcAddress to > get their address in kernel32.
