RFR (s) : 8145740: Visual Studio pragmas should be guarded by #ifdef _MSC_VER

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Matthias,

to me your change looks good. However, I'm no reviewer so you'll need sponsorship from someone else.

Can someone please sponsor this? Should it maybe be posted in another list for better visibility?

Best regards
Christoph

Subject: RFR (s) : 8145740: Visual Studio pragmas should be guarded by #ifdef _MSC_VER

Hello,
   can you please review and sponsor this change :

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145740
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8145740.0/

Some details :

     while  Visual Studio pragmas in shared code are usually guarded with  _MSC_VER in the hotspot codebase
( see for example   taskqueue.hpp or  compressedStream.cpp ) , the guarding is missing in   src/share/vm/utilities/growableArray.hpp  ,
which is not really a "good thing"  for other compilers .


Thanks and regards, Matthias
