Let jvmtiGen exit with a non-zero exit code upon failure (original) (raw)

Carsten,

This looks good with a few comments:

  1. If you make the “verbose” variable into a static field, you can avoid the final-copying.
  2. nit: Line 216: put "System.exit(1);” on it’s own line

Oh, and create a bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net

Thanks, /Staffan

Currently jvmtiGen exits with exit code 0 regardless of its success. This causes make to often consider a target finished when in fact the target failed. It also leads to funny error checking after the execution of jvmtiGen. For instance, in many trace.make files[*] a test for the existence of the output file is carried out after the completion of jvmtiGen. In a clean working repository that test is equivalent to jvmtiGen exiting with a proper exit failure code on failure, but in a dirty working repository the target file might just be pre-existing. This causes unnecessary pain when working with files processed by jvmtiGen. In this change I chose to exit with exit code 1 whenever a failure is detected, be it a dtd validation failure, an IO failure, or something else entirely. This halts the building of OpenJDK on failures and ultimately makes development easier. I also added a verbose option such that warnings from the xml parser and dtd checker can be printed on stderr if desired. Finally, I changed all the error message printing to stderr. :-) Let me know what you think. BTW. This is the first time I tried the webrev system, so hopefully it all looks good. I havn't figured out how to create a bug yet, whence the question mark. I wasn't sure if hotspot-runtime-dev is the right email alias. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate alias for this email. [*] Why are so many of the non-shared makefiles almost identical?
