SDE segfaults when running the JVM

[JosefEisl]

Hello!

I noticed that SDE is not able to execute the JVM:

$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.14.1" 2022-02-08
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.14.1+1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.14.1+1, mixed mode, sharing)

$ ~/Downloads/sde-external-9.0.0-2021-11-07-lin/sde64 -- java -version
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

 I know that the VM is using SEGFAULT handlers for implicit null checks, which is not supported according to the SDE FAQ, but for --version I'd assume that this is not the issues as not Java program is executed.

Any ideas how to find out what is causing the issue?

Thanks, Josef

Please provide more details on your system.

I tried running Java from openjdk 17.0.2 and openjdk version 1.8.0 on my Ubuntu 20.04 host and both pass with no issue.

% sde-external-9.0.0-2021-11-07-lin/sde64 -- ./jdk-17.0.2/bin/java -version
openjdk version "17.0.2" 2022-01-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.2+8-86)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.2+8-86, mixed mode, sharing)

Thanks for the quick reply!

Interesting! I'm on Fedora 35, openjdk installed via the package manager:

Fedora 35 is using a new system call (clone3) and the support for it still does not exists in the latest external Intel SDE version (9.0).

This will be fixed in the next release.

Good to know! Thanks for the update and looking forward to the next release!
