            Bug ID: 60309
           Summary: JNI_CreateJavaVM aborts with java.system.class.loader
                    property set
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libgcj
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

example call to JNI_CreateJavaVM

Initializing the VM from either a C program or running a trivial test program
with gij both abort when the java.system.class.loader property is given to
JNI_CreateJavaVM. I see an earlier bug report indicating that this did work at
some point. However, I consistently get an abort() with 4.8.2 or built from
current svn trunk.

Backtrace of the attached C program looks like this:

#7  0x0000000000400755 in main ()

I'm also attaching the class loader from GNU Octave that works with OpenJDK,
and a trivial hello world program for completeness that also aborts when run
with the java.system.class.loader property set:

$ gij TestMain
Hello, world
$ gij -Djava.system.class.loader=OctClassLoader TestMain
Exception during runtime initialization
Aborted
