Julian Waters has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision: link-time-opt should take opt-size into consideration when setting optimization levels ------------- Changes: - all: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9829/files - new: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9829/files/be9af820..9b6195a0 Webrevs: - full: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=9829&range=02 - incr: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=9829&range=01-02 Stats: 10 lines in 1 file changed: 4 ins; 0 del; 6 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9829.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk pull/9829/head:pull/9829 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9829
