Another question, if I may?

[Ted Neward]

What’s the steps necessary to add a new -XX flag? I’d assumed (naively) that all that was required was to add it to the list of macro’ed flags in hotspot/share/runtime/globals.hpp, but my new flag (“PrintTedMessage”) isn’t recognized when I “make hotspot”; it gets kicked back out with the “Unrecognized flag; did you mean…?” error.

 

Is there something I’m missing? Does the flag need to be registered someplace else as well?
