Bug with function "resume 0x****" of jdb

Question

One problem with the function of jdb occured when I tried to use it to
pilot the processor with differents threads. In fact, I use a simple example with 2 threads.
I stop the two threads with two breakpoint, and I want to resume one or the other (with the function "resume 0x****"), the one wich I resumed stop again on the breackpoint and I decide again to resume one or the other. All of that to obtain a tree of execution.
I give you the code of the class and the code of jdb.
CLASS: (it's just a object Room with a variable degre that I increment and decrement with two threads increase and decrease)
public class Test{
      public static void main(String[] args){
           Room r = new Room();
           decrease de = new decrease(r);
           increase in = new increase(r);
           de.start();
           in.start();
class Room {
     private volatile int degre=20;
     public void more(){
        degre += 4;
     public void less(){      
       degre -= 3;     
class decrease extends Thread{
   private Room room;
   public decrease(Room r){
             room =r;
   public void run(){
    try{ 
     while (!interrupted()){ 
                room.less();  
      catch(InterruptedException e) {}
class increase extends Thread{
   private Room room;
   public increase(Room r){
        room =r;
   public void run(){ 
        try{ 
             while (!interrupted()){
                  room.more();
       catch(InterruptedException e) {}
JDB:
Initializing jdb ...
stop at Test:7Deferring breakpoint Test:7.
It will be set after the class is loaded.

Thread-1[1] print degre

Thread-1[1] resume 0x147

16 degre += 4;
Thread-1[1] clear
Breakpoints set:
breakpoint Test:7
breakpoint room:16
breakpoint room:20
PS: I tried many other examples with other class and other kind of breakpoints, but, in any cases, on thread doesn't manage to resume. When I try with general resume (no specification of the thread), It works but it isn't interresting for me because I want to decide wich thread continue his execution.

Answer 1

Looks like a memory clearing problem in the function. Best to post this problem in an OSS message, or look through the OSS notes to see if the problem has been identified before.
