Reporting races in libraries other than the host JVM

[Aritra Sengupta]

Hi,

     We are using chord to find static data-races in the DaCapo benchmarks. Since we use JikesRVM to implement our dynamic analyses we need chord to report races in the libraries that Jikes uses. Chord by default reports races in the host JVM libraries . We tried to run chord with the dynamic option such that it runs the DaCapo benchmarks with Jikes instead of the host JVM. We also put the libraries used by Jikes in the class path in chord.properties file. Chord still reports races only in the host JVM libraries and not in the java libraries that Jikes uses. We need to figure out how chord is getting the path of the java libraries and then change the same for example [java.home]/lib/ext/). Could you please provide some ideas or pointers related to the same.

Thanks,
