graal and jdk8

[Venkatachalam, Vasanth]

Hi, have the changes for that fix been checked in?

When I do an "hg update" under the root graal directory, I'm getting a "0 files modified" message.

The changes are currently propagating to http://hg.openjdk.java.net/graal/graal
Note that to run with a JDK8 you will probably need to add -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+EnableInvokeDynamic For example "mx vm -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+EnableInvokeDynamic -version". This applies to both graal and server vm.
