Simple bug fix for jdk15-current-patchset on amd64 runnign eclipse ?

[Arno J. Klaassen]

Hello,

when I run eclipse on amd64 with jdk15 patched with latest experimental
patchset, I get a hotspot error when opening a file :

  # An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
  #
  #  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x0000000801a0fbba, pid=30197, tid=0x51a000
  #
  # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (1.5.0-p1-toor_19_jul_2005_12_24 mixed mode)
  # Problematic frame:
  # C  [libzip.so+0x7bba]  inflateEnd+0x3a
  #
  # An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid30197.log

And the log-file learns :

  C  [libzip.so+0x7bba]  inflateEnd+0x3a

  Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code)
  j  org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gtk_main_do_event(J)V+0
  j  org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS.gtk_main_do_event(J)V+8

  j  org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gtk_dialog_run(J)I+0
  j  org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS.gtk_dialog_run(J)I+8
  j  org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FileDialog.openChooserDialog()Ljava/lang/String;+122
  ...

This bug is probably close to JDK Bug 4953050
(http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4953050)
and in fact is easily solved by adding :

  #define Z_PREFIX

at the beginning of ./j2se/src/share/native/java/util/zip/zlib-1.1.3/zconf.h

Am I wrong or is this even the "preferred" way to prevent conflicts with
standard libz.so ?

Kind regards, Arno
