Early Access b93 is available for JDK 9 on java.net

Hi Uwe & Dawid,

Since my last message about JDK 9 build b88, a number of new JEPs have 
been integrated into JDK 9 b93
available here <https://jdk9.java.net/download/>. I'd like to point you 
to a few that are now available for testing in this JDK 9 Early Access 
build:

JEP 254: Compact Strings (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/254)

This JEP adopts a more space-efficient internal representation for strings.

We propose to change the internal representation of the String class 
from a UTF-16 char array to a byte array plus an encoding-flag field. 
The new String class will store characters encoded either as 
ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (one byte per character), or as UTF-16 (two bytes per 
character), based upon the contents of the string. The encoding flag 
will indicate which encoding is used.

JEP 165: Compiler Control (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/165)

This JEP proposes an improved way to control the JVM compilers. It 
enables runtime manageable, method dependent compiler flags. (Immutable 
for the duration of a compilation.)

Method-context dependent control of the compilation process is a 
powerful tool for writing small contained JVM compiler tests that can be 
run without restarting the entire JVM. It is also very useful for 
creating workarounds for bugs in the JVM compilers.

JEP 243: Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface 
(http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/243)

This JEP instruments the data flows within the JVM which are used by the 
JIT compiler to allow Java code to observe, query, and affect the JVM's 
compilation process and its associated metadata.

JEP 268: XML Catalog API (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/268)

This JEP develops a standard XML Catalog API that supports the OASIS XML 
Catalogs standard, v1.1. The API will define catalog and 
catalog-resolver abstractions which can be used with the JAXP processors 
that accept resolvers.

Existing libraries or applications that use the internal API will need 
to migrate to the new API in order to take advantage of the new features.

Hi,

I reported the issue at bugtracker, I sent the review ID to Rory privately.

I reenabled build 93 on Policeman Jenkins, but with compact strings disabled. The first run seems to pass:

RE: Early Access b93 is available for JDK 9 on java.net

Posted by Uwe Schindler <uw...@thetaphi.de>.
Hi,

I will open a new issue in a moment! I tried to run tests with "-XX:-CompactStrings" and all tests passed as usual. So its indeed compact strings. It also does not look like a hotspot problem, because the errors are reproducible.

I will report the incident number once I started the bug report.

Have a nice weekend,
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Can you log an incident when you have all the info,  I will follow up.

Hi,

I reverted to build 90. Every run fails with similar errors. Maybe it is indeed the compact strings. I can try tomorrow to disable those.

It's even more frightening that these are runtime value differences,
not hotspot crashes or runtime errors...

RE: Early Access b93 is available for JDK 9 on java.net

Posted by Uwe Schindler <uw...@thetaphi.de>.
Hi,

Unfortunately, build 93 is a desaster. The first run failed many tests on Lucene Core already:

Build: http://jenkins.thetaphi.de/job/Lucene-Solr-trunk-Linux/15055/
Java: 64bit/jdk1.9.0-ea-b93 -XX:-UseCompressedOops -XX:+UseG1GC

38 tests failed.

I will give it a second try later, but I think it does not work at all. I don't think those failures are related to compact strings, but it could be related.
After the next failed run I will revert the Jenkins server back to b90 (which is the last known good JDK - no errors at all).

Uwe

It is now installed. Just one question: Do I need to explicitly enable compact strings or is it on by default? If yes, we will see asap if something breaks!

Hi Rory,

 

I will install this new build later! I hope nothing breaks with compact strings!

Do you have an idea, when the Jigsaw builds are merged into the official JDK 9 builds (because the feature freeze and final release of JDK 9 comes…)?

Subject: Early Access b93 is available for JDK 9 on java.net

 


Hi Uwe & Dawid, 

Since my last message about JDK 9 build b88, a number of new JEPs have been integrated into JDK 9 b93 
available  <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> here. I'd like to point you to a few that are now available for testing in this JDK 9 Early Access build: 

JEP 254: Compact Strings ( <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/254> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/254) 

This JEP adopts a more space-efficient internal representation for strings. 

We propose to change the internal representation of the String class from a UTF-16 char array to a byte array plus an encoding-flag field. The new String class will store characters encoded either as ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (one byte per character), or as UTF-16 (two bytes per character), based upon the contents of the string. The encoding flag will indicate which encoding is used. 

JEP 165: Compiler Control ( <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/165> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/165) 

This JEP proposes an improved way to control the JVM compilers. It enables runtime manageable, method dependent compiler flags. (Immutable for the duration of a compilation.) 

Method-context dependent control of the compilation process is a powerful tool for writing small contained JVM compiler tests that can be run without restarting the entire JVM. It is also very useful for creating workarounds for bugs in the JVM compilers. 

JEP 243: Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface ( <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/243> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/243) 

This JEP instruments the data flows within the JVM which are used by the JIT compiler to allow Java code to observe, query, and affect the JVM's compilation process and its associated metadata. 

JEP 268: XML Catalog API ( <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/268> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/268) 

This JEP develops a standard XML Catalog API that supports the OASIS XML Catalogs standard, v1.1. The API will define catalog and catalog-resolver abstractions which can be used with the JAXP processors that accept resolvers. 

Existing libraries or applications that use the internal API will need to migrate to the new API in order to take advantage of the new features. 


Rgds, Rory
