Summary

  • cuOpt's C++ logger writes console output (log_to_console == true, the common case) directly to std::cout, which performs a raw write to the process's native stdout file descriptor -- completely bypassing Java's System.out.
  • In the Java bindings, that corrupts Maven Surefire's forked-JVM communication protocol, which also multiplexes over stdout. Depending on whether a log line happens to land mid-frame, this shows up as anything from a harmless Corrupted channel by directly writing to native stream warning to a full VM crash or System.exit called? failure that fails every remaining test in that fork.
  • This is not new: the same warning already fires (non-fatally, so far) in the existing java-build CI job today. It surfaced as a hard failure while investigating #1818 (exploratory static-linked classifier JARs), whose java-static-test job hit the race far more reliably than java-build does. Root-caused and reproduced locally by rebuilding libcuopt + the JNI layer and running NativeIntegrationTest directly; see that PR's discussion for the investigation.

Fix

  • Add a console-sink override hook to the shared logger, cuopt::set_console_log_callback (cpp/src/utilities/logger.hpp/.cpp). Unused by default, so behavior for the Python, C, CLI, and server bindings is unchanged.
  • The Java JNI layer (cuopt_jni.cpp) registers a callback (lazily, on first SolverSettings creation, so FindClass runs with the right classloader) that forwards each log line to a new NativeLogSink.onLogLine, which writes it through System.out.
  • Because the line now goes through System.out, Surefire's own interception of that stream (and any other consumer's -- a redirect, a logging bridge) sees it as ordinary Java output rather than a raw native write, so there is nothing left to corrupt its IPC channel.

Second source found and fixed: vendored PSLP

After the fix above, java-static-test still failed occasionally with the same signature. Reproduced locally (stress loop, hit on the first attempt) and read the exact corrupted text straight from Surefire's .dumpstream artifact: PSLP declares problem as infeasible. -- a raw printf in the vendored PSLP presolver (github.com/dance858/PSLP, pinned at v0.0.11).

Root cause: run_presolver() gates every other console message behind stgs->verbose (print_start_message, print_end_message), but calls print_infeas_or_unbnd_message() unconditionally. cuOpt already sets verbose = false when calling PSLP (third_party_presolve.cpp) specifically to keep it silent -- this one line was just missed. The infeasible/unbounded status itself is unaffected: it already flows back to the caller through run_presolver()'s typed return value, not by parsing this printed text.

Filed and fixed upstream: dance858/PSLP#55. Until a release containing it is available, cpp/CMakeLists.txt patches the vendored v0.0.11 source at fetch time via a new PATCH_COMMAND on PSLP's FetchContent_Declare (patch file at cpp/cmake/patches/pslp/respect_verbose_for_infeasible_message.patch).

Test plan

  • Rebuilt libcuopt (static) and the JNI layer with the NativeLogSink change, in a clean CI-matched conda env; ran NativeIntegrationTest directly via mvn test -Dcuopt.native.dir=....
    • Before: Tests run: 11, Failures: 0, Errors: 0 followed by Corrupted channel by directly writing to native stream in forked JVM 1 for every solver log line (cuOpt version: ..., Setting parameter ..., Solving a problem with ...).
    • After: same 11/11 pass, zero occurrences of Corrupted channel.
  • Ran the full Java suite (35 tests) with just the NativeLogSink fix: all pass, but one residual Corrupted channel warning remained, traced to PSLP's printf (see above).
  • After adding the PSLP patch: rebuilt libcuopt_static + the JNI layer with the patch applied (confirmed applied by inspecting the fetched source), and ran the full Java suite in a loop 50 times, including ProblemIntegrationTest's infeasible-solve case which is what exercises this exact code path. All 50 runs passed with zero Corrupted channel occurrences.
  • java-build CI passes with no Corrupted channel warning at all.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

cuOpt's C++ logger writes console output directly to std::cout when
log_to_console is enabled (the common case), bypassing Java's
System.out entirely. In the Java bindings, that raw write to the
process's native stdout stream corrupts Maven Surefire's forked-JVM
IPC protocol, which also uses stdout as its channel -- intermittently
turning a passing test run into a reported "VM crash" depending on
whether a log line happens to interleave with a protocol frame.
Reproduced locally: NativeIntegrationTest's PDLP/MIP solves reliably
trigger Surefire's "Corrupted channel by directly writing to native
stream" warning, occasionally escalating to a hard failure.

Add a console-sink override hook to the shared logger
(set_console_log_callback), used only when a caller registers one;
behavior for the Python, C, CLI, and server bindings is unchanged.
The Java JNI layer registers a callback that forwards each log line to
a new NativeLogSink.onLogLine, which writes it through System.out --
letting Surefire (and any other System.out interceptor, e.g. a
redirect or logging bridge) see it like ordinary Java output instead
of a raw native write.

Known residual gap: PSLP, a vendored third-party presolver linked
into libcuopt, prints its own status lines directly via printf and
does not go through cuopt's logger, so it is not covered by this
callback. It surfaces far less often than the fix's scope (only a
short presolve status line, versus the solver's console banner and
progress log on every solve), but is a separate, harder fix
(patching or forking the vendored library) tracked separately.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The logger now supports a synchronized optional callback. The JNI layer forwards native log lines to System.out. The PSLP dependency now suppresses infeasible and unbounded diagnostics when verbose mode is disabled.

Changes

Console logging integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native console callback configuration
cpp/src/utilities/logger.hpp, cpp/src/utilities/logger.cpp
Adds the callback type and setter. Synchronized state selects the registered callback or std::cout.
JNI Java log sink registration
java/cuopt/src/main/java/.../NativeLogSink.java, java/cuopt/src/main/native/cuopt_jni.cpp
Adds the Java output sink and lazily registers it before solver settings creation. JNI callback handling covers missing Java members, thread attachment, and Java exceptions.

PSLP diagnostic output control

Layer / File(s) Summary
PSLP verbose diagnostic patch
cpp/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/cmake/patches/pslp/respect_verbose_for_infeasible_message.patch
Applies a local PSLP v0.0.11 patch. The patch gates infeasible and unbounded messages on verbose while preserving presolver status returns.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dba05

The change reroutes native logs through Java and patches a vendored presolver output path. At the current head, a JNI allocation failure can leave a pending exception, and the dependency patch can be skipped silently, allowing native output to corrupt Java process communication; these risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

CI Test Summary

✅ All 31 test job(s) passed.

Root-caused the residual Corrupted channel failures still hitting
java-static-test after the NativeLogSink fix: PSLP v0.0.11's
run_presolver() gates every other console message behind
stgs->verbose (print_start_message, print_end_message), but calls
print_infeas_or_unbnd_message() unconditionally when it detects the
problem is infeasible or unbounded. cuOpt already sets verbose =
false when calling PSLP (third_party_presolve.cpp), specifically to
keep it silent, so this one line slips through despite that and
writes straight to the process's native stdout -- bypassing
System.out exactly like the raw write NativeLogSink was built to
intercept, and corrupting Surefire's forked-JVM protocol the same
way.

The infeasible/unbounded status itself is unaffected: it already
flows back to the caller through run_presolver()'s typed return
value, not by parsing this printed text, so cuOpt's own (properly
routed) status reporting is unchanged.

Filed and fixed upstream: dance858/PSLP#55.
Until a release containing it is available, patch the vendored
v0.0.11 source at fetch time via a new PATCH_COMMAND on PSLP's
FetchContent_Declare.

Verified locally: rebuilt libcuopt_static + the JNI layer with the
patch applied (confirmed via the fetched source) and ran the full
Java suite, including ProblemIntegrationTest's infeasible-solve case
which is what triggers this code path, 50 times in a loop. Every run
passed with zero "Corrupted channel" occurrences (previously this
reproduced on the very first attempt).

…leaked JNI exception

- cpp/tests/utilities/test_console_log_callback.cpp: gtest coverage for
  set_console_log_callback/console_log_callback -- a registered callback
  receives console output, a null callback falls back to std::cout without
  crashing, and log_to_console=false suppresses both.
- NativeLogSinkTest.java: verifies onLogLine writes through the current
  System.out (including after System.setOut redirection), not a raw native
  stream.
- cuopt_jni.cpp: NewStringUTF's OutOfMemoryError was left pending when it
  returned null (line stays nullptr, so the prior ExceptionCheck/Clear was
  skipped along with it). Moved the check out of the if-block so it covers
  both that case and CallStaticVoidMethod.

…sh diagnostics inline

Root cause of java-static-test's flaky Surefire "Corrupted channel"
crash, found by reproducing it locally against a self-contained
classifier JAR inside the real rapidsai/ci-conda container (a plain
-Dcuopt.native.dir run never hit it, because that path's broader
LD_LIBRARY_PATH happened to expose the missing library anyway):

libcudss.so.0 dlopen()s a separate OpenMP threading backend,
libcudss_mtlayer_gomp.so.0, from cudssSetThreadingLayer at runtime.
That companion was missing from both NativeLibraryLoader's embedded-
resource list and build_cuopt_java_jar.sh's packaging step, so in a
genuinely consumer-like environment (no libcuopt, no broader
LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- exactly what java-static-test runs) the call fails
and cuDSS writes its own failure message straight to the process's
native stdout:

  FAILED: CUDSS call ended unsuccessfully with status = 3, details:
  "cudssSetThreadingLayer"

That's a raw write cuOpt's own logger never sees, so no amount of
NativeLogSink/PSLP fixing (see #1825) could catch it -- three
independent sources were writing to the same stream. Verified with 3
clean runs against the container repro after packaging the missing
library.

Also dump target/surefire-reports/*.dumpstream and hs_err_pid*.log
inline in ci/test_java_static.sh on failure, and upload
surefire-reports as a job artifact: this exact diagnosis depended on
reading the dumpstream file's contents, which neither the console log
nor any uploaded artifact previously exposed.

Should n't this be a separate PR?

I think PSLP version change should be a different PR.

The stray-infeasible-message fix is a real, separate bug (independently
confirmed via a captured Surefire dumpstream, and fixed upstream at
dance858/PSLP#55), not something the cuDSS fix on #1818 makes
redundant -- but it's a distinct concern from this PR's own scope
(routing cuOpt's console logging through System.out) and belongs in
its own PR for review.

… stdout (#1836)

## Summary

- `run_presolver()` in vendored PSLP (`dance858/PSLP`, pinned at `v0.0.11`) prints `"PSLP declares problem as infeasible[.| or unbounded.]"` unconditionally, unlike every other console message in that function, which are all gated behind `stgs->verbose` (`print_start_message`, `print_end_message`, etc).
- cuOpt already sets `verbose = false` when calling PSLP (`third_party_presolve.cpp`) specifically to keep it silent -- this one message was just missed upstream, so it writes straight to the process's native stdout regardless.
- Found while investigating the Java bindings' "Corrupted channel" Surefire crash on #1818: a raw native write there bypasses `System.out` and corrupts Maven Surefire's forked-JVM protocol, which also multiplexes over stdout. Confirmed directly by reading the exact corrupted text out of a captured Surefire `.dumpstream` artifact.
- The infeasible/unbounded status itself is unaffected by this fix -- it already flows back to the caller through `run_presolver()`'s typed return value, not by parsing this printed text.

## Fix

Filed and fixed upstream: dance858/PSLP#55. Until a release containing it ships, pin `cpp/CMakeLists.txt`'s `GIT_TAG` past `v0.0.11` directly at the merge commit, rather than patching the vendored source locally.

## Test plan

- [x] Confirmed via a captured `.dumpstream` artifact that this exact message was the corrupted text.
- [x] `ProblemIntegrationTest`'s infeasible-solve test case (Java bindings) exercises this code path directly.
- [ ] CI passes clean.

Split out of #1825, which originally carried this alongside an unrelated fix (routing cuOpt's own console logging through `System.out`).
