I have no problem with the decision of choosing the C++ vs the template 
interpreter at compile time. My initial question was related to the fact that 
the hotspot code is relatively complex to understand at large and I wanted to be 
sure of running either the cpp interpreter either the template interpreter with 
may be an additional internal parameter. So the define CC_INTERP makes the 
choice and that's ok.

Yes, it is compile time but that information is produced running java -version 
and would be useful as a tracker of which interpreter is used. I want to 
identify the interpreter used in the jdk jtreg tests to avoid uncertainty.
