Dear Maintainer,

I have just discovered that stepping into JRE classes with a debugger does not
allow inspecting variable states, the debugger complains that classes are built
without "-g" option.

I cannot confirm when this started - I only debug into system classes
occasionally. However, for me, absense of this information strongly limits the
ability to seriously develop java code with this package.

javap -l shows some information but it does not show the variable tables.

My best guess is, that classes were compiled with "-g:lines" instead of "-g" or
-g:lines,vars"

I'm using Netbeans 8.1 debugger.

TIA.

Chris.

Hi Chris,



I had a look at this issue.



I could reproduce the issue with NetBeans IDE 8.1 and openjdk version 1.8.0_91 on Ubuntu 16.04 also.



But system class variables can successfully debugged using "jdb" (Debugger shipped withJDK).  ( I tried with Debian builds on arm machine).

So at first look it doesn't seem JDK issue.



I further tried to debug with Netbeans IDE 8.1 and could find a workaround to debug system class variables
Please use "Debug -> Evaluate Expression (Ctrl + F9)"



That suggests that it can be issue with NetBeans itself.



I am looking into it deeper and will keep you posted.



Regards,

Alok

found 819785 8u292-b10-1
tags 819785 + upstream
thanks

They are built without any -g option. Some (jaxp, for example) use -g
but not all. Looking at jdk/make/Setup.gmk, from jdk.tar.xz, the calls
of the SetupJavaCompiler macro are all missing -g from FLAGS. The CORBA
stuff is also built without it.

There’s no single variable used by all of them where we could just add
-g so this… is going to be tricky. Ideally, you’d ask upstream to change
this for the next 8u? Is this possible?

Thanks,
