it seems that exec() doesn't work - it never returns. Bug in IBM j9 kernel classes?
Mark Hindress is trying to duplcate to reconfirm.

Yes, that is a different case to what I was imagining (and what was on

Certainly - do you have a stack trace that gives more info for what each
of the threads are
doing? Could you attach it to the JIRA if you do please - Ive just tried
running a cut down
version of the test on my SLES9 machine and it exited fine, so it would
be useful to have
a trace from your machine to see what's happening.

I don't think so.
When they are saying "the exec never returns", they are meaning that
from the POV of the programmer, the spawned thing never returns.
That's why you can do
exec()
do IO
waitFor()
done
However, in our case, when I say "exec never returns" I mean "exec()"
never returns.
so you'd never actually get to "do IO" above, because you are hanging in
exec().
Big difference, right?

The example returns once they have fixed it. If you look at the example
just before the "Why Runtime.exec() hangs" heading (BadExecJava2.java)
you will see a situation that is almost exactly the same as in the test
case.
i.e. an exec followed by a waitFor(), without any reading of streams.
In this case the exec never returns.
The later example is how to fix it.

I think the phrasing in the article is misleading, because we're not
seeing exec() *return*, which is a different issue than the case that
they are talking about, namely the subsequent waitFor() not returning.
So I think this doesn't apply. Interesting reading, though.

I remember seeing problems like this before, in a non-Harmony jre, where a
Runtime.exec() would never return. I hunted around and found an
interesting page
on JavaWorld:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
I found the "Why Runtime.exec() hangs" section very useful, and it
solved my problem
at the time. I'm not saying that what you're seeing is definitely the
same thing that I encountered,
but it may help. I notice that in this test stdout and stderr for the
process are not read - is it
possible that it is producing some output, and since it isn't being read
the process just waits
leading to the exec never exiting?

Oliver

as discussed on dev list, fork() is failing due to some ulimit. I can repeat it, and make it go away as well, so while we have an example, I will fix natives to throw exception if this happens.

Posted by "Geir Magnusson Jr (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-638?page=all ]
Geir Magnusson Jr resolved HARMONY-638:
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I believe this is now fixed w/ checkins r416412 and r416419 for linux and windows respectively.
In summary, if fork() failed, native code hung forever waiting for non-existent child to signal parent.
That's now fixed, and also a start at returning meaningful return codes was made so that nicer-looking exceptions can be thrown.
