Eclipse Neon crash on startup - Solaris Sparc [message #1744302]

Wondering if anyone else has a solution for the following on an Ultrasparc T2 machine (T5120 / 32GB RAM / Solaris 11.3) with X exported to Solaris 11.3 x86.

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xffffffff2613df68, pid=2119, tid=2
#
# JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_60-b27) (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.60-b23 mixed mode solaris-sparc compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# C [libgobject-2.0.so.0.2800.6+0x3df68] g_type_query+0x80
#
# Core dump written. Default location: /export/home/das/develop/eclipse46/eclipse/core or core.2119
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# /export/home/das/develop/eclipse46/eclipse/hs_err_pid2119.log
[thread 72 also had an error]

The mentioned debug log is attached.

thanks

Eclipse Neon does work on Solaris x86. It seems that the x86 version doesn't use the problematic 2.12 version of GTk, instead it uses 2.14. The Sparc version though still links to CDE libs, which makes me suspect it hasn't been updated to the level of the x86 version (the copyright saying 2010 is another giveaway - the x86 files say 2016). I tried taking out the CDE lib linkage, same result. I even tried building the x86 code on Sparc, identical result. I was rather surprised it built at all. The x86 version doesn't use the CDE linkage, so that doesn't seem to be more than a PITA (CDE is not installed by default on Solaris 11).

It appears that it's passing in a null arg to the g_type_query function in os.c and that is causing the error. Why the arg is null I haven't found though. As a Smalltalk/Java/Python programmer dealing in C code is hardly my forte. If anyone has spare cycles to debug the problem it would be muchly appreciated - from the forums and forums on other Eclipse SWT based programs this is a consistent problem, not something specific to my setup.

thanks

Not sure if relevant:

Fyi: Support for Pre Gtk2.24 has been dropped recently..

Hi,
I have the same problem on sparc without X export.
