Intro:
This set of changes removes the runtime support for generation of debug
versions that follow _g semantics.
Defect:
JDK-8005044 remove crufty '_g' support from HS runtime code
Webrev
/u/rdurbin/8005044_exp/webrev/index.html
Details:
Files have been modified to remove all reference and support for debug
versions that follow _g semantics.
Testing:
Passed JPRT last night:
Additional Testing In process: ( suggested by Dan):
src/share/vm/runtime/arguments.cpp
- test with shared archive creation and use; see the e-mail
from Coleen
src/share/tools/ProjectCreator/ProjectCreator.java
- just a usage message; visual inspection of the code
src/os/windows/vm/os_windows.cpp
- comments only; no testing needed
src/os/{bsd,linux,solaris}/vm/os_{bsd,linux,solaris}.cpp
- the only code changes come into play when the "gamma"
launcher is used
- and when JAVA_HOME refers to a valid JDK, the function
fakes up a JVM path so that callers using the JVM path
to find other things in the JDK will work.
- I can't find any way that the actual JVM path value
that is returned is exposed
- I don't see a way to test this other than have a debug
printf() or manual code inspection.
