Andrew,

If you want to make changes to the build system (files in make/*), please always include build-dev in the reviews.

From a build point, this fix looks okay. My general preference is to fix shady code instead of disabling warnings, but in this case it's in two libraries that are either external or moribound, so if the maintainer's of the respective libraries want to avoid code changes, I accept that.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for taking a look at this, I have just done a rebuild with a new
patch with appropriate gcc disable warnings for these libraries:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aleonard/8209786/webrev.01/
This works fine, so if you think this is a more favourable approach for
these libraries? i'd like to get this merged please.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

It was suggested that it would be preferable to dial down the compilation
settings for the fdlibm code rather than make a source code change. Was
this investigated?

Thanks,

Brian

We have discovered issues with gcc 7.3 on zLinux, combined with OpenJDK's
default compiler options has highlighted a couple of native code issues,
with undefined behaviours:
  - validating loop test array bounds
  - left shifts of negative values
I have created bug https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8209786
and attached the webrev fix here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aleonard/8209786/webrev.00/

This has already been discussed and refined on the "s390x-port-dev"
maillist
and as it was pointed out, it should have been posted here...

I'd like to request a sponsor for this fix please?
