I found an existing test covering the CompilerToVM.readConfiguration method. The test was based on an earlier name for this method so I renamed it (from InitializeConfigurationTest to ReadConfigurationTest). I added some basic tests for the internal integrity of the VMIntrinsicMethods in the configuration:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dnsimon/8164358v2/test/compiler/jvmci/compilerToVM/ReadConfigurationTest.java.udiff.html

These tests caught the fact that I had forgotten to ensure the VMIntrinsicMethod class was initialized. I’m not sure what else to test here without hard coding expectations of what the VM intrinsifies into the test.

>>> It cuts down the number Strings allocated by about 35% (900 vs 582). With full string interning, the savings is around 55% (415) but the overhead of using a HashSet from VM code is prohibitive. I won’t argue strongly that it makes a big difference but since the one-element cache (per VMIntrinsicMethod string field) is fast and cheap, I don’t see why not to use it. The alternative code would look something like this:
>>> 
>>>  objArrayHandle vmIntrinsics = oopFactory::new_objArray(VMIntrinsicMethod::klass(), (vmIntrinsics::ID_LIMIT - 1), CHECK_NULL);
>>>  int index = 0;

>>>    instanceHandle vmIntrinsicMethod = InstanceKlass::cast(VMIntrinsicMethod::klass())->allocate_instance_handle(CHECK_NULL); \
>>>    Handle kls_string = VM_SYMBOL_TO_STRING(kls);                              \
>>>    Handle name_string = VM_SYMBOL_TO_STRING(name);                            \
