<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I don’t understand what the exact problem is here. Have you had a build or a test failing that was not caught by GHA?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We build both fastdebug and release for all platforms that run tests. Take a look into any GHA run, for example,
<a href="https://github.com/shipilev/jdk/actions/runs/17491480307">https://github.com/shipilev/jdk/actions/runs/17491480307</a> -- you can clearly see macos-(x64|aarch64) build (debug|release) jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">What *<b>is</b>* awkward in current GHA configs: non-Hotspot tests are executed with release bits, while Hotspot tests are executed with fastdebug. So if you run fastdebug tier1 testing locally, it will not be 100% the
same thing GHA runs. Arguably, we want to run all tests with fastdebug, really, but I never got to trying that in GHA. This would probably make tests slower. I am pretty sure GHA infra could handle it, it is only the question how much slower the testing would
become.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">>So does that mean, that we build all GHA builds with debug level release/product and no<span lang="EN-US">n</span>e with fastdebug ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">>If so, could we maybe in future use some mixture, like most product but a few e.g. one on Linux one on macOS fastdebug ?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And found that on Linux we build already (fast)debug. That’s good !<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But seems we miss it on e.g. macOS and also Windows .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could we adjust the GHA settings or add a 3rd macOS build using (fast)debug ?<o:p></o:p></p>
