Getting the sources ready for the next Solaris developer studio toolchain.
Some additional warnings were found in the debug build.

   Issue:https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202319
   Webrev:http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gadams/8202319/webrev.00/

This update conditionally disables some new error checks, if the
new toolchain is used.
I looked at these, and the warnings are correct, so just disabling them is a 
bit troubling.
The thing is, the code in both cases is attempting to intentionally provoke a 
crash.
But because the code is invoking undefined behavior, executing it might 
actually do
anything, or nothing at all.  So while suppressing the warning might permit 
compilation,
it’s not at all obvious that the compilation will produce anything like the 
desired code.
And that’s also true for platforms that aren’t warning…

True. Perhaps we should just raise a SEGV directly?

David

I like that idea.

Hopefully this should work:

os::signal_raise(os::get_signal_number("SEGV"));

Cheers,
David
