Hi, I think it would be very convenient for app developers if JVM were able to create intermediate directories to gc.log file if they do not exist.
I.e. $ if [ -f logs/gc.log ]; then echo "log file exists"; else echo "log file does not exist"; fi log file does not exist $ if [ -d logs ]; then echo "log directory exists"; else echo "log directory does not exist"; fi log directory does not exist $ java -Xlog:"gc*:file=logs/gc.log" -version ... $ if [ -d logs ]; then echo "log directory exists"; else echo "log directory does not exist"; fi log directory exists $ if [ -f logs/gc.log ]; then echo "log file exists"; else echo "log file does not exist"; fi log file exists Thanks, Dmytro On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 8:31 PM Harold Seigel <harold.sei...@oracle.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Please review this fix for JDK-8244105.
