I looked at the jdk webrev, looks fine.
Out of curiosity, what is the point of running the test with
-Xint? Does it verify anything useful?
It tests our assumptions are correct about the interpreter that finalisation
should not occur (more specifically correct for the number of iterations). If
the interpreter test passes we have more confidence that if the C1/C2 tests
fail it has something to do with compilation and not their interpreted
execution when warming up. FWIW it does not increase the execution time by any
significant amount.
Ok.
