Native-image: Support -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

[turing85]

If we build a native-image with --enable-monitoring=heapdump and start the native-image with ... -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError ... the process terminates with the error message:

error: Could not find option 'HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError'. Did you mean one of these: ExitOnOutOfMemoryError. Use -XX:PrintFlags= to list all available options.

It would be nice if this feature was supported to analyze out of memory errors.

@turing85 -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError is available starting with Mandrel 23.1 (GraalVM for JDK 21). oracle#7012

So feel free to grab a release from https://github.com/graalvm/mandrel/releases/tag/mandrel-23.1.0.0-Final and try that out.

@jerboaa are there plans for a backport to 23.0? Not everyone is able to upgrade to java 21 right away.

[jerboaa]

@turing85 You could build your application with JDK X - where 11 <= X < 21 and run the native compilation with mandrel 23.1, no?

[turing85]

@jerboaa not really. Customer policy is to only use red hat images (this includes the builder images in pipeline jobs). There is no mandrel-23.1-based red hat image. There is, however, a mandrel-23.0-based red hat image.

Scratch my last comment, there is a mandrel -23.1-base image.

Scratch my last comment, there is a mandrel -23.1-base image.

@turing85 beware that this would be an upstream mandrel image though, not a "Red Hat Build of Quarkus Native builder".

[turing85]

@zakkak I know, thanks for the heads-up 🙂

For future reference (i.e. people reaching here from google search) please note that the upstream mandrel-23.1 image is not compatible with (Red Hat Build of) Quarkus 3.2.
