Problems with AOT compiled Clojure on Azul

[Krukow]

When running the AOT compiled Clojure (clojure.jar) on an Azul box I
get an error during startup (in particular in the class-initializer
for clojure.main). This error does not occur in the clojure-slim.jar.
The stacktrace is this:

kkr@azulpod1:~/download$ java $JVM_PARAMS -cp clojure.jar clojure.main

This error does not occur on my 2-core macbook; I've only seen it on
the 216-core Azul box.

Anyone?

Hi Karl,

It sounds like a classloader problem.
Are you using clojure 1.0 or a recent build? If one, can you try with the other?

I've tried it with 1.0 and with the 1-1-0-alpha-snapshot (latest from
github). Same error... :-(

I ran into this exception recently. In my case the problem was that the classloader returned by (.getContextClassLoader (Thread/currentThread)) while a gen-classed object was being instantiated was different than the one returned when a method on the object was executed. Is there something about the Azul environment that could cause the classloader to be changed after Clojure has gone through its static initialization but before executing clojure.main?

Yes, that's certainly possble. I don't know the details of how the
Azul VM executes. Perhaps Cliff can help here, if he is following?

For now I am just running the "slim" version of Clojure.
