jacoco and System.exit

[Harry Terzian]

Hello,

I have the following example code, i have also attached a png file with the colourings of two runs, one with myclass.method(1) and the other with myclass.method(3)

When system.exit(anything) is called, the whole function mymethod, is coloured as red. When reading the shutdown hook documentation it says that:

The Java virtual machine shuts down in response to two kinds of events:

• The program exits normally, when the last non-daemon thread exits or when the exit (equivalently,System.exit) method is invoked, or

• The virtual machine is terminated in response to a user interrupt, such as typing ^C, or a system-wide event, such as user logoff or system shutdown.

However the execution data probably not getting recorded. Is this a known limitation?

 

public class MyClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyClass myclass = new MyClass();

myclass.mymethod(1);

}

void mymethod(int b) {

if(b == 3) {

System.runFinalization();

System.exit(0);

} else {

b = 3;

}

}

}

Hi,

this is the same known limitation as for implicit exceptions: As
System.exit() will never return the subsequent probe can never be executed.
