Having dlopen usages in non-core native libraries such as such as libsctp, libawt_xawt, ... have their dlopen usages compiled to use dlopen_ext in libjvm introduces questionable coupling that I think requires broader discussion. For the JFR NativeLibraryLoad event then I suppose there is a discussion on whether events for statically or dynamically loaded libs is interesting or not as there isn't a corresponding System.loadLibrary or SymbolLookup.libraryLookup. JDK-8314152 seems to very AIX specific with shared lib caching that I would hope complicate interfaces for other ports. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15264#issuecomment-1676938047
