[Java.Runtime.Environment] Don't Destroy the JVM by default. (#65)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When `JniRuntime.CreationOptions.DestroyRuntimeOnDispose` is true,
`JavaVM::DestroyJavaVM()` will be invoked when the `JniRuntime`
instance is disposed *or* finalized.

`JreRuntime.CreateJreVM()` would *always* set
`DestroyRuntimeOnDispose` to true, because it called
`JNI_CreateJavaVM()`, so *of course* you'd want to destroy the
Java VM, right?

Which brings us to unit tests. I don't know of any "before all test
fixtures run" and "after all test fixtures run" extension points,
which means:

1. The JVM needs to be created implicitly, "on demand."
2. There's no good way to destroy the JVM created in (1) after all
    tests have finished executing.

Which *really* means that the `JreRuntime` instance is *finalized*,
which sets us up for the unholy trifecta of AppDomain unloads,
finalizers, and JVM shutdown:

For unknown reasons, ~randomly, when running the unit tests (e.g.
`make run-tests`), the test runner will *hang*, indefinitely.

Attaching `lldb` and triggering a backtrace shows the unholy trifecta:

Finalization:

	thread #4: tid = 0x403831, 0x00007fff9656bdb6 libsystem_kernel.dylib`__psynch_cvwait + 10, name = 'tid_1403'
	  ...

This randomly results in deadlock, and hung Jenkins bots.

Fix this behavior by altering `JreRuntime.CreateJreVM()` to *not*
override the value of
`JniRuntime.CreationOptions.DestroyRuntimeOnDispose`. This allows the
constructor of the `JreRuntime` instance to decide whether or not the
JVM is destroyed.

In the case of TestJVM, we *don't* want to destroy the JVM.

This prevents the JVM from being destroyed, which in turn prevents the
hang during process shutdown.
