Hello, when running java-gnome 4 unit tests, I've found out that gij NewStringUTF implementation crashes when its argument is NULL. Indeed in natString.cc the very first line of _Jv_NewStringUTF(const char *bytes) calls strlen(bytes), without checking whether bytes is NULL or not. Hence the crash.
Sun's implementation does not crash: it returns NULL instead. However it seems gij implementation is correct according to http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/functions.html#65644: "Return Values. Returns a local reference to a string object, or NULL if the string cannot be constructed. Returns NULL if and only if an invocation of this function has thrown an exception." Should gij implementation be changed to handle NULL? I've checked that the crash should still occur on the trunk, r134466 -- Summary: JNI method NewStringUTF crashes when passed a NULL pointer Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: java AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: thomas dot g dot girard at free dot fr GCC build triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35979
