compilation error with JVM 20

[yanns]

steps

By updating the JVM from 19 to OpenJDK20U-jre_x64_linux_hotspot_20.0.1_9
with scala 2.13.11
and sbt 1.9.0

problem

we have a new compilation error:

I was not able to reproduce the issue:

I tried switching from adoptium:1.19.0.2 to adoptium:1.20.0.1 in some of my complex build and it worked fine.

@yanns do you have some more precise reproduction instructions (repo, OS, steps)?

[yanns]

It's an internal application.
OS:

System information:
 Server Version: 20.10.18
 Storage Driver: overlay2
  Backing Filesystem: xfs
 Cgroup Driver: cgroupfs
 Cgroup Version: 1
 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-1030-aws
 Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
 OSType: linux
 Architecture: x86_64

JVM installed with jabba:

jabba install "20.0-custom=tgz+https://github.com/adoptium/temurin20-binaries/releases/download/jdk-20.0.1%2B9/OpenJDK20U-jre_x64_linux_hotspot_20.0.1_9.tar.gz"

I found the issue. There was the following option in build.sbt:

ThisBuild / scalacOptions ++= Seq("-release", "11")

Using the following produces the same issue:

ThisBuild / scalacOptions ++= Seq("-release", "12")

[yanns]

I'll try with other release values later.

[yanns]

when looking at https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/compiler-options/index.html, the flag release does not seem to support JVM 20:

-release RELEASE or --release RELEASE
Compile for a specific version of the Java platform. Supported targets: 6, 7, 8, 9

The documentation might be outdated as I can use the values 11 and 12.
Do you maybe know which values are possible?

[adpi2]

I found the issue. There was the following option in build.sbt:

ThisBuild / scalacOptions ++= Seq("-release", "11")

I still cannot reproduce the issue though.

Could it be an issue in the compiler itself? Can you try running coursier launch scalac:2.13.11 -- HelloWorld.scala -release 12?

Do you maybe know which values are possible?

According to this line it supports all versions from 8 to 21.

This error looks similar to the error when the old Scala compilers are executed with newer JDK versions (9+) that do not have a proper rt.jar.

Sbt has solved this by running their bespoke java9-rt-export.jar (https://github.com/sbt/java9-rt-export) and then providing the output path via -Dscala.ext.dirs.
