[gentoo-java] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError on amd64

Hi,

I am trying to build VTK (http://www.vtk.org/). I have no problems 
compiling this package on x86 by either using emerge or manually. But on 
amd64 the build dies because of an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:

(...)
Listing /var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk/wx ...
Compiling /var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk/wx/__init__.py ...
Compiling /var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk/wx/wxVTKRenderWindow.py ...
Compiling /var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk/wx/wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py ...
...
Generating ../../java/vtk/vtkBuildAllDriver.class


The system is out of resources.
Consult the following stack trace for details.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
make[2]: *** [java/vtk/vtkBuildAllDriver.class] Error 3
make[1]: *** [Wrapping/Java/CMakeFiles/VTKBuildAll.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


The build consequently breaks down here. However, when I run make again, 
it suddenly compiles withtout problems and finishes the build.

The compilation command for building vtkBuildAllDriver.class is:

(...)
@echo "Generating ../../java/vtk/vtkBuildAllDriver.class"
cd /var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/Wrapping/Java && /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/bin/javac -classpath 
/var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/java/vtk/.. -d /var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/java/vtk/.. 
/var/tmp/portage/vtk-5.0.0-r4/work/VTK/java/vtk/vtkBuildAllDriver.java


I have tried to increase the amount of memory java can use by adding 
-J-Xms48m to the command (right after configuration, since a second 
compilation attempt always works), but without succes.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem can be? I am unsure if the 
problem lies within VTK or Blackdown. Sun-jdk does not have a 64 bit 
version available, so I cannot compare with that.

Thanks in advance,

FYI:  Sun DOES have a JDK for 64-bit Linux.  It is in Portage, too,
although it is currently masked (please see the list archives[1] if you
don't know why).  The 64-bit sun-jdk is a "server VM", so it doesn't
include things like Web Start or applet support.  However, it works just
fine.

I'm not sure what might be causing the rest of your build problems, but
wanted to at least provide the above.

oops, did not see that :s

I have tried to build VTK with sun-jdk now (without allocating extra 
memory), and I get the exact same error. So it is not a Blackdown issue.

I assume Blackdown and Sun are two completely code-independent VMs, so I 
guess the problem lies with VTK?

Whoops... accidentally replied off list much earlier today.

-Xms sets the initial memory allocated. You probably want -Xmx, which 
sets the maximum amount of memory that will be allocated, and you 
probably want this to be fairly high, or at least more than 48m.
If you're going to patch the makefiles, a clean way to do it may be to 
add like a variable JAVACFLAGS, which we can then set in the ebuild like:
use amd64 && JAVACFLAGS="-J-Xmx256m ${JAVACFLAGS}"

I'm pretty sure it's a blackdown on amd64 thing. We do encounter it for 
a few packages, like net-p2p/azureus. For the record, there is a amd64 
version of sun-jdk-1.5 (and 1.6...), but I'm sure at this point I 
shouldn't have to go into the concerns about using them ;)

Yes! This works.

I am still a little bit disfigured: is the problem is the amount of 
allocated memory, why does a second make always work? Perhaps javac is 
keeping some cache?

Thanks!
