Hi Roger,

A few mostly minor comments ...

A new replacement API will be considered separately.

The update includes a test that passes with or without the changes.
(Except for an NPE instead of SEGV if null is passed).

I take it we don't care about reorder files any more?
There does not seem to be any particular guidance about how/when to use them on Solaris.
So it seemed as reasonable to remove the entries as to update them.

The @since should not be changed to 9. You only changed the implementation not the API. Conversely the renamed class should arguably be @since 9 and not @since 1.2. But it is wrong to say sun.misc.Signal is @since 9.
The new sun.misc.Signal is a wrapper around the original implementation now in jdk.internal.misc. I had modified the mercurial commands to rename sun.misc.Signal to jdk.internal.misc to preserve the history
of the implementation.

I will correct sun.misc.Signal to retain the original @since and use @since 9 for the jdk.internal.misc

The *Handler.of method name reads strangely to me - "for" would be better but I presume that is not allowed.
The xx.of ()  pattern has been used recently.

Not sure I understand the role of NativeSignalHandler any more - given it can't actually be used ??
They are used to retain the previous handler and can be used to restore that handler.
The ability to invoke the handler directly was removed as a simplification.

test/sun/misc/SunMiscSignalTest.java

Based on our email discussion this test can not be testing that the handler actually gets invoked - as we know it does not in some cases. I have doubts that sun.misc.Signal ever intended to support all the signals you are testing.
There were no tests for sun.misc.Signal. I created the tests based on the current implementations. They can be updated to reflect current support for handle, raise, and whether a signal handler is called and of course -Xrs. It should allow detection of unintended changes in behavior.


hotspot: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rriggs/webrev-hs-signal-9149750/

Hotspot changes are fine.

Thanks, Roger
