Hi, TestJmapCore is failing on aix because there jhsdb is not implemented. So far, such tests check at runtime Platform.shouldSAAttach() which is missing in TestJmapCore.
Instead, I implement @requires vm.hasSAandCanAttach. This makes jtreg skip the tests without compiling and starting them. I added the new property to all tests that check shouldSAAttach in jdk and hostpot test directories. This is the implementation of the new property, the rest is just repetitive checking it: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr18/8205419-requiresHasSA/01/test/jtreg-ext/requires/VMProps.java.udiff.html webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr18/8205419-requiresHasSA/01/ Is it correct to assume the VMProps is evaluated on the same machine and with the same user as used for executing the test? canPtraceAttachLinux directly accesses the system. (Should I remove the checks for shouldSAAttach() from the changed tests?) Best regards, Goetz.
