Route Java console logging through System.out instead of native stdout - #1825
Route Java console logging through System.out instead of native stdout#1825ramakrishnap-nv wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
cuOpt's C++ logger writes console output directly to std::cout when log_to_console is enabled (the common case), bypassing Java's System.out entirely. In the Java bindings, that raw write to the process's native stdout stream corrupts Maven Surefire's forked-JVM IPC protocol, which also uses stdout as its channel -- intermittently turning a passing test run into a reported "VM crash" depending on whether a log line happens to interleave with a protocol frame. Reproduced locally: NativeIntegrationTest's PDLP/MIP solves reliably trigger Surefire's "Corrupted channel by directly writing to native stream" warning, occasionally escalating to a hard failure. Add a console-sink override hook to the shared logger (set_console_log_callback), used only when a caller registers one; behavior for the Python, C, CLI, and server bindings is unchanged. The Java JNI layer registers a callback that forwards each log line to a new NativeLogSink.onLogLine, which writes it through System.out -- letting Surefire (and any other System.out interceptor, e.g. a redirect or logging bridge) see it like ordinary Java output instead of a raw native write. Known residual gap: PSLP, a vendored third-party presolver linked into libcuopt, prints its own status lines directly via printf and does not go through cuopt's logger, so it is not covered by this callback. It surfaces far less often than the fix's scope (only a short presolve status line, versus the solver's console banner and progress log on every solve), but is a separate, harder fix (patching or forking the vendored library) tracked separately.

JNI specification NewStringUTF pending exception DetachCurrentThread pending exception behavior
💡 Result:
According to the JNI specification, native code must not call most JNI functions while an exception is pending [1][2][3]. If an exception occurs, the native code is expected to either return immediately to the JVM or clear the exception using ExceptionClear before making further JNI calls [1][2][3]. NewStringUTF Calling NewStringUTF while an exception is pending is not permitted [1][2][3]. Doing so results in undefined behavior, which often manifests as a JNI-detected error or a fatal crash in debug builds [4]. Native developers must check for pending exceptions after calls that can throw them (e.g., via ExceptionCheck or by checking return values for NULL) and handle them appropriately before invoking any further JNI functions [1][3]. DetachCurrentThread DetachCurrentThread is a special case. Historically, it was not explicitly safe to call with a pending exception [5]. However, the JNI specification was amended to include DetachCurrentThread in the restricted list of JNI functions that are safe to call when an exception is pending [1][6]. If an exception is pending when DetachCurrentThread is called, the behavior is implementation-defined; specifically, the JVM may choose to report the existence of the pending exception (e.g., via the thread's uncaught exception handler) [5][7][6]. Top results: [1][5][7][6][3]

CI Test Summary✅ All 31 test job(s) passed. |
Root-caused the residual Corrupted channel failures still hitting java-static-test after the NativeLogSink fix: PSLP v0.0.11's run_presolver() gates every other console message behind stgs->verbose (print_start_message, print_end_message), but calls print_infeas_or_unbnd_message() unconditionally when it detects the problem is infeasible or unbounded. cuOpt already sets verbose = false when calling PSLP (third_party_presolve.cpp), specifically to keep it silent, so this one line slips through despite that and writes straight to the process's native stdout -- bypassing System.out exactly like the raw write NativeLogSink was built to intercept, and corrupting Surefire's forked-JVM protocol the same way. The infeasible/unbounded status itself is unaffected: it already flows back to the caller through run_presolver()'s typed return value, not by parsing this printed text, so cuOpt's own (properly routed) status reporting is unchanged. Filed and fixed upstream: dance858/PSLP#55. Until a release containing it is available, patch the vendored v0.0.11 source at fetch time via a new PATCH_COMMAND on PSLP's FetchContent_Declare. Verified locally: rebuilt libcuopt_static + the JNI layer with the patch applied (confirmed via the fetched source) and ran the full Java suite, including ProblemIntegrationTest's infeasible-solve case which is what triggers this code path, 50 times in a loop. Every run passed with zero "Corrupted channel" occurrences (previously this reproduced on the very first attempt). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

CMake ExternalProject_Add PATCH_COMMAND non-zero exit status causes configure or build failure FetchContent_MakeAvailable
💡 Result:
A non-zero exit status from a PATCH_COMMAND in CMake results in a failure of the step, which stops the build process for that specific external project [1]. The behavior depends significantly on whether you are using ExternalProject_Add or FetchContent, as they serve different purposes and operate at different stages of the CMake lifecycle [2][3]. ExternalProject_Add When using ExternalProject_Add, commands like PATCH_COMMAND are executed at build time [4][2]. If the patch command returns a non-zero exit code, the build step fails, and subsequent steps (configure, build, install) for that external project are not executed [1]. Because these steps run as part of the build system (e.g., make or ninja), a failure halts the dependency's build process [4]. FetchContent The FetchContent module is designed to make content available during the CMake configure step, not at build time [2][3]. When you call FetchContent_Declare, it merely records the details for populating the content. When FetchContent_MakeAvailable is called, it triggers the population process [2][5]. It is important to note that FetchContent primarily manages downloading and updating; it does not support the same configure, build, and install steps as ExternalProject_Add [2][3]. While some versions of FetchContent may utilize underlying ExternalProject machinery, passing PATCH_COMMAND options to FetchContent_Declare may be ignored or cause unexpected behavior because FetchContent expects to manage the content directly [6][2]. If you need to apply patches to content managed by FetchContent, it is generally recommended to use CMake's file operations (like file(PATCH...)) or custom commands during the configure step, rather than relying on ExternalProject-style patch commands [2]. If your build is failing due to a patch error, ensure that: 1. The command provided in PATCH_COMMAND is robust and correctly handles its environment [4]. 2. You are using the appropriate tool for your goal: use ExternalProject_Add if you must build a non-CMake project or need complex build-time steps [3], and use FetchContent if you want to integrate CMake-based projects directly into your build configuration [2]. 3. If using FetchContent, consider avoiding manual patching via shell commands and instead use CMake's built-in file manipulation capabilities [2].

site:cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html PATCH_COMMAND FetchContent_Declare ExternalProject_Add
💡 Result:
Both FetchContent_Declare and ExternalProject_Add support the PATCH_COMMAND option to apply patches to downloaded content [1]. In FetchContent_Declare, you can use any download, update, or patch options that are supported by ExternalProject_Add [1]. Since FetchContent is designed to make content available at configure time, it leverages the underlying machinery of ExternalProject for these steps [1]. Note that while FetchContent supports patch options, it explicitly prohibits steps related to building, configuring, installing, or testing the content [1]. For ExternalProject_Add, the PATCH_COMMAND option is used to specify a command that runs after the content has been downloaded to apply modifications. An example of this usage would look like: ExternalProject_Add(my_project URL "..." PATCH_COMMAND patch -p1 < ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/my_patch.patch) When using PATCH_COMMAND, ensure that the specified command or script is available in your environment, as CMake will execute it during the build process for ExternalProject_Add or during the population process for FetchContent [1].
