Incorrect escaping of $ORIGIN in native test libraries

XMLWordPrintable

    • b16

      After building test-image on Linux, I see a non-sensical:

       $ readelf -ld ./linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/test/hotspot/jtreg/native/libintrpthrd003.so | grep RUNPATH
       0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH) Library runpath: [RIGIN]

      In the corresponding cmdline file I see:

       -Wl,-rpath,\RIGIN

      which is likely due to use of $ORIGIN in a Makefile where the $ was not $$-escaped.

      That attempt to use $ORIGIN obviously failed, but the tests still work - maybe we shouldn't be trying?

      ---

      In the same cmdline file I see -L flags pointing to the location of libjvm.so but no -ljvm flag to actually use it !

      I suggest ensuring that test libs are built with the appropriate linker flag to make undefined symbols an error - that should cause build failures - and then add back in the missing -ljvm to re-fix the build.
