Hi everyone,
Sending this to hotspot-dev since it is a GC change but it touches
compiler code in macroAssembler_sparc.cpp.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8077873
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~brutisso/8077873/webrev.00/
The develop flag G1SATBPrintStubs prints out the generated assembly for
the SATB stubs. This is has been around since G1 was integrated in the
the hotspot repo. But it was only ever implemented for Sparc and it
looks much like debugging code that has just been left in the code base.
I have not heard of anyone using this flag lately so rather than
generalizing it to all platforms I propose that we remove it. If we need
to debug the SATB write barrier generation we can easily add back
similar logging.
Thanks,
Bengt
