Yeah, that's what I meant :-) It is good to at least have the @ReservedStackAccess annotation and mechanism in place. Finding the best way to use it will take more thought and empirical evaluation. So I suggest that the hotspot support part of the webrev be put into place, and that we incorporate j.u.c updates using it after further exploration and evaluation -- we do have a lot of tests using locks etc, so are in a better position to make better decisions about alternative placement strategies after trying them.
But note that it is not the finally part that need be at issue.
Right. But given the existence of @ReservedStackAccess, we might be able to rework some code so as to use it more sparingly. -Doug
