Virtual threads and native image fails on NoSuchElementException

[jkamon]

Describe the issue
Running multithreaded program build to native image using virtual threads and AccessController causes java.util.NoSuchElementException: null

Problem occurs only with virtual threads. 2 virtual threads are enough to cause the problem. Platform threads works as expected see attached replicator.zip.

We found this issue trying to run spring boot application as native build with virtual threads. Our application was using Apache HTTP5 client to create SSL connections. It uses SSLConnectionSocketFactory which works with socket inside AccessController (which is modified during native build).

Steps to reproduce the issue
Build:

1. download attached replicator.zip
2. unzip
3. make clean install
4. target folder contains replicator executable binary and jar file.

Run:

1. simple execution of executor binary (./replicator) from target directory will cause exception see output below
2. execution with java (java -jar replicator-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) will not cause exception

Thank you for reporting, issue reproduced and we are looking into it

[hamzaGhaissi]

Can you please tell me which version of GraalVM this fix is available in?
I am using this version and the error is still reproduced:

I'm getting the exact same error as well. Seemingly randomly when running Oracle GraalVM 21.0.1+12.1 (build 21.0.1+12-jvmci-23.1-b19). When will the fix be out?

[wpf375516041]

I apologize for the disturbance, but I believe this issue is critically important for business development. Would it be possible to release a fixed version based on GraalVM CE 21.0.1+12.1 (build 21.0.1+12-jvmci-23.1-b19)? I sincerely appreciate your assistance. Thank you very much. @hamzaGhaissi

[hamzaGhaissi]

Issue already fixed, and will be released on the next EE/CE release of 23.1.2 on January

[kunniks]

Thank you for information.
According to the release calendar https://www.graalvm.org/release-calendar/ the next release can be expected on January 23rd

[hamzaGhaissi]

Actually the date for the CE release was update it and will be on the 16th of January ^_^

Today I built my application with the latest version of GraalVM - no error. Thanks!
