Hi,
I'd like to get a review of a backport to jdk8u of:
8196108: Add build support for VS 2015/2017
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196108
JDK 11 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/bcce1fa183e7
Original review thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2018-January/020719.html
jdk8u webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kevinw/8196108/webrev.00/
Imports partly automatically, partly needs manual intervention.
I haven't included the devkit creation scripts. They aren't in 8
already, we haven't backported: 8087208: Add devkit creation script for
windows
The scripts are available in the later repos, and the devkits created
are the same... So it appears unnecessary. I can start a build using
VS2017 installed, or from a devkit.
Testing locally and with JPRT, using the existing default VS2010
compiler, so the standard build is unaffected.
This change is not in 10 or 9, but this is a backport to 8.
This of course does not change anything about what compilers are known
to work or be supported to build jdk8u, and in toolchain_windows.m4, for
the ordering of compiler versions I kept VALID_VS_VERSIONS starting with
2010, so no change in the default compiler we use. Will be further
changes to get the VS2017 build actually working...
Many thanks
Kevin
