Apparently there are some threading issues, which affect almost all suites (except may be smoke tests). I observe quite many sporadic crashes in c-unit, kernel and classlib tests. For example, the following assert fails often: drlvm/vm/thread/src/thread_native_suspend.c:351: hythread_set_safepoint_callback: Assertion `status == (0)' failed. Another incomprehensible error is described in HARMONY-1614. These defects most probably point to races in TM or VM internals, and are hard enough to insulate and root-cause.
Aside from that, there are "known" stable failures, like kernel ThreadTest and ClassLoaderTest, or classlib's org.apache.harmony.archive.tests.java.util.jar.JarOutputStreamTest and org.apache.harmony.luni.tests.java.lang.ThreadGroupTest. These are good candidates to fix first - especially Thread related - maybe this would help to get closer to more subtle defects. 28 Sep 2006 14:47:27 +0700, Egor Pasko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

How shall we start? :) I am working on the ClassLoaderTest :) "memopt" optimization pass makes it fail, it even removes some array-bounds-checks (surprize, surprize), which looks like, ehm, unfair. For now I could not reduce the test to a small one. On small pieces of code "memopt" works less dangerously. Disabling "memopt" helps, but that would drop performance down. You can disable it temporarily if stability is very critical.
