Sergey,

reviewing that on 2d alias can take a pretty long time to complete. As for the questions see answers inside:

Hi, Alexander. I think that it should be reviewed on 2d alias.

But a few comments: - It is unclear how getBackupSurface can set sdAccel to null, but if it set, it should invalidate old surface. getBackupSurface() by creating new surface data may trigger revalidate() call which (in method VolatileSurfaceManager.validate()) contains the code that, if acceleration mode has been disabled, nullifies the sdAccel variable: } else if (sdAccel != null) { // if the "acceleration enabled" state changed to disabled, // switch to software surface sdCurrent = getBackupSurface(); sdAccel = null; returnCode = VolatileImage.IMAGE_RESTORED; } Note that this does not happened often - only when the application is being reanimated from the hibernate mode and during the hibernate the external display was disconnected potentially resulting in switching to the video adapter which does not support accelerated drawing.

- Same question about CWrapper: if pointer contains nil do we release this object before? If it is nil then it was not initialized in the first place, this means that displayID does not represent anymore a valid device so when we are attempting to get CWrapper.NSScreen.screenByDisplayId(displayId) we are getting nil and later trying to release it via CWrapper.NSObject.release(screen)

With best regards, Alex

please review my fix for CR 7175183: [macosx] Objective-C exception thrown when switching monitor configuration The NPE happens because of the getBackupSurface method call results in the resetting of the current surface to null. The idea of the fix is to check for it in both native and java methods before using it.
