The problem appears to be in GNU Classpath (classpath-bootstrap).  Its
“native/jni/java-io/java_io_VMFile.c” defines
“Java_java_io_VMFile_exists”, which returns “1” when a file exists.  It
does so by calling “cpio_isFileExists” which is defined in
“native/jni/native-lib/cpio.c”:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
int cpio_isFileExists (const char *filename)
{
  struct stat statbuf;

  if (stat(filename, &statbuf) < 0)
    {
      return errno;
    }

  return 0;
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have confirmed with printf debugging that there’s a mismatch between
what the Java side thinks and what the C side tells it.  On the C side
the temporary file is determined to not exist yet, but on the Java side
it is said to exist — this is in spite of the fact that the Java side
only converts the C side’s return value.

Here’s an example from the printf output:

    exists? /tmp/files16bfd145b82_1 : 2 -- 0;
    classpath trying to create: /tmp/files16bfd145b82_1 exists? true

The first line is from C, the 2 is ENOENT, and 0 is the return value.
The zero is taken to be a Java boolean, so it maps to false.  The second
line comes from Java.

It hangs in “while (VMFile.exists(file.path))”:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    File file;
    if (!VMFile.IS_DOS_8_3)
      {
        do
          {
            long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
            if (now > last_tmp)
              {
                // The last temporary file was created more than 1 ms ago.
                last_tmp = now;
                n_created = 0;
              }
            else
              n_created++;

            String name = Long.toHexString(now);
            if (n_created > 0)
              name += '_'+Integer.toHexString(n_created);
            String filename = prefix + name + suffix;
            file = new File(directory, filename);
          }
        while (VMFile.exists(file.path));
      }
    else …
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have confirmed that this is the problem by replacing “while
(VMFile.exists(file.path))” with “while (false)”.  The build doesn’t
fully complete then either, but it gets past the compilation of the Ant
source files.  This clears JamVM and Jikes.

I’m attaching my embarrassing printf debugging patches.

Any ideas?
