RFE: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241462
In some of my testing pipelines that deal with huge .so-s due to specific build configuration, tests that use the StripNativeDebugSymbols plugin fail with OOME. It can be fixed by using the method that copies the InputStream straight to destination file without instantiating the huge array. The only wrinkle is that we need to close the InputStream after we are done. diff -r c456587e7ef4 src/jdk.jlink/linux/classes/jdk/tools/jlink/internal/plugins/StripNativeDebugSymbolsPlugin.java --- a/src/jdk.jlink/linux/classes/jdk/tools/jlink/internal/plugins/StripNativeDebugSymbolsPlugin.java Mon Mar 23 19:14:01 2020 +0100 +++ b/src/jdk.jlink/linux/classes/jdk/tools/jlink/internal/plugins/StripNativeDebugSymbolsPlugin.java Mon Mar 23 20:13:15 2020 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ /* - * Copyright (c) 2019, Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (c) 2019, 2020, Red Hat, Inc. * DO NOT ALTER OR REMOVE COPYRIGHT NOTICES OR THIS FILE HEADER. * @@ -25,4 +25,5 @@ package jdk.tools.jlink.internal.plugins; +import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.lang.ProcessBuilder.Redirect; @@ -314,5 +315,8 @@ String relativeDbgFileName = relativeFileName + "." + debugExt; - Files.write(resourceFileBinary, resource.contentBytes()); + try (InputStream in = resource.content()) { + Files.copy(in, resourceFileBinary); + } + Path resourceFileDebugSymbols; if (includeDebug) { Testing: tools/jlink, tools/jpackage, jdk-submit (running) -- Thanks, -Aleksey
