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
ThreadTest is a kind of "always failing test" unfortunately. Now
its failure
is related to launcher related issue mentioned in another thread as
well as
the HARMONY-1537 issue. All these issues are fixed with
HARMONY-1582 patch.
On the other hand, HARMONY-1582 reports that ThreadTest fails
showing up new
problems possibly related to H-1519 patch. So ThreadTest is very
helpful in
catching regressions and should be paid a special attention to each
time it
fails :)
So a good question is how do we start? There is no patch yet for
1537, and there is still ongoing discussion of 1582, given it's
complexity.
