[8u40] RFR(S): 8040121: Load variable through a pointer of an incompatible type in src/hotspot/src/share/vm: opto/output.cpp [...]

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi,

please review this 8u40 backport request. The changes were pushed on 
July 29 but nightly testing showed problems with union initialization [1].

I created a new webrev including the fix for JDK-8054054 [2]. Nightly 
testing with the fix showed no problems.

New webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~thartmann/8040121_8u/webrev.00/

Master bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8040121
Old webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~thartmann/8040121/webrev.01/
Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-comp/hotspot/rev/26057ecc544b

Thanks,
Tobias
