Please review this small webrev . It contains a few changes for building hotspot on AIX with xlclang++ / xlc16 . ( most likely switching to xlclang++ / xlc16 will be a must once we introduce C++11/14 features )
Some comments on the changes : - porting_aix.cpp : workaround for demangle.h (does not work with xlclang++) - arguments.cpp/hpp : the UNSUPPORTED_OPTON macro lead to assigning false to AllocateHeapAt which is a bad idea (and does not work with xlclang++) - globalDefinitions_xlc.hpp : xlclang++ sets __GNUC__ so we must not have #error ... in this case Bug/webrev : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8218136 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mbaesken/webrevs/8218136.0/ Thanks, Matthias
