Microsoft STL redistributable found in JDK is out of date

[AndrewHL76]

Please provide a brief summary of the bug

It was observed that an outdated version of msvcp140.dll located in the bin folder of installed JDKs. Microsoft published an update in June 2024 and an issue has arisen.

Specifically we have a c++ library being invoked from Java that uses a mutable const mutex that when compiled with the latest Microsoft toolset, crashes due to the mutex now being constructed inappropriately. The issue occurs when an attempt to lock the mutex takes place.

Is it possible to rebuild or repackage with the latest versions of the Microsoft redistributables.

Did you test with the latest update version?

Hi @AndrewHL76 - thanks for raising this. I think it's the first time I can recall such a failure reported with the C runtime in all my time with Adoptium/AdoptOpenJDK!

Can you confirm that if you swap in a later one into the JDK directory it works ok, making that a suitable workaround in the meantime?

The tricky thing from our side is that for reproducibility reasons (if you're not aware, Tenurin is 100% binary reproducible) we typically don't always update the compilers to bleeding edge (as building with different versions makes them non reproducible), preferring fixed levels in general, but I appreciate that we may wish to look at an update with this specific failure. Having said that we will not be able to do anything in time for the PSU update this week unfortunately.

I was bitten by this as well. And I put a newer msvcp140.dll into my temurin bin dir, and it works then. Would be awesome to have a fix for this soon-ish :-D
But the workaround works.

[AndrewHL76]

A swap with newer binaries does indeed work, however this approach is not friendly to our deployment strategy.

@DonOregano Assuming they are your libraries, as an alternative work around you can use the preprocessor definition _DISABLE_CONSTEXPR_MUTEX_CONSTRUCTOR in your c++ projects that use the mutex class.

Ideally future distributions of JDK have the updated binaries

Oh, thank you! That gives me a way to understand what is really going on here!

Yep agree that's far from ideal so will take a look at it options going forward on this one the current release cycle is complete. Thanks to both of you for confirming that we at least have a workaround for anyone else affected by this.

I'll also note for others who may be reading this that it is not specific to the MSI - the .zip downloads of Temurin also contain the runtime dll.
