RFR 8038418 New tests development for type profiling and speculation

[Roland Westrelin]

Hi Igor,

> No we use new class loader for each execution and clear state of all methods in scenario through WhiteBox::clearMethodState():
>>  MethodData* mdo = mh->method_data();
>> 
>>  if (mdo != NULL) {
>>    mdo->init();
>>    ResourceMark rm;
>>    int arg_count = mdo->method()->size_of_parameters();
>>    for (int i = 0; i < arg_count; i++) {
>>      mdo->set_arg_modified(i, 0);
>>    }
>>  }
> I think it should also clear type profiling data. Am I right?

Using your own class loaders should. The call to set_arg_modified() itself doesn’t affect type profiling.

Roland.
