> Making ReplayCompiles a (diagnostic) runtime switch can help when facing problems with shipped release VMs:
> - Investigate the effects of compiler errors in shipped VMs to estimate the bug impact
> - Investigate if a given build is affected by a compiler bug
> 
> Making the option product increases libjvm.so text size by 54kb (Linux x64). No measurable runtime overhead.
> 
> Tests: Almost all tests in compiler/ciReplay generate replay files by inducing a crash with `-XX:CICrashAt`. That won't work in release builds. I added a simple test that checks that invalid replay files are correctly refused, and that test can also be done on a release VM. So we at least have a test for release that checks argument parsing.

> (Note: I have https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/9891 open, which could in the future serve as an alternative to CICrashAt by limiting the compiler arena).
