dump to system.out

[Thomas Wuerthinger]

Peng,

Debug.dump(graph, "name") is used to transmit the graph over network to a running instance of the IdealGraphVisualizer ("mx igv"). You can enable it by specifying "-G:Dump=" followed optionally by a regular expression identifying the phase you want to dump. Also, you can use the -G:MethodFilter option to further narrow down the debug output to specific compiled methods.

For getting output on the console, there is the "-G:Log=" command with similar specification rules as "-G:Dump=". The way to perform such logging is Debug.log("message"). Printing to System.out is discouraged as it can interfere with the usage of System.out by the running Java application.
