JVM stack error?

[George2]

Hello everyone,

When running my program on Java JVM 5.0, there are strange stack errors. What may be the root cause?

(foo.dll is my JNI invoked native library.)

thanks in advance,

a problem in your native library is the most likely cause.

Thanks jwenting. I am surprised that native code fail makes JVM crash. Could you show me some popular cases why native call could cause JVM fail please?

One sample I could think of is, the JVM can not find the related function name from the native module (foo.dll). Is that correct?

Any other cases?

a problem in your native library is the most likely cause.

regards,
George

that could be it (though I'd expect a more graceful error message were that to happen). But more likely a method in your DLL overwrites some memory belonging to the JVM, causing it to fail, or runs into an infinite loop (you didn't post the entire error message, which might shed more light on things).
