Shirish,

There were some minor issues with your patch ( it did not build on all platforms ). I fixed these issues and also updated the Mac variant of getFlags. It now compiles and runs on all platforms.

The test has been dropped ( as I indicated in the previous mail ).

If Neil ( or someone else from IBM ) is to push this, you can grab the patch from the above webrev (and list me as a reviewer). Otherwise, I can push it for you.

-Chris.

Chris,

Please go ahead and run the sanity builds and tests. Thanks -Shirish On 8/9/2012 7:52 PM, Chris Hegarty wrote:

I agree there is no general documentation available, AIX defines vipa interface flag as "0x80000000" In which case I don't see any problems with your proposed source changes. One could argue that maybe they should go through the specific porting project ( since it's not directly relevant to existing supported platforms ), but I see this more of a clean up exercise. No need to carry such a trivial change in a project sub repo. Usually a new testcase is recommended, but in this case the functionality ( isUp, isXXX() ) is already exercised by many many tests so I think we can leave it to the other tests. I filed a new bug to track this issue, CR 7190254: "NetworkInterface getFlags implementation should support full integer bit range for flags value." If you don't mind, I would like to take your patch to NetworkInterface.c and run some sanity builds and tests on it. I'd hope to get this done later today or early tomorrow. -Chris.

Here is a similar bug report related to FreeBSD http://hg.openjdk.java.net/macosx-port/macosx-port/jdk/rev/c6334146005c. A different fix was proposed here.

Hope this helps. Thanks -Shirish
