RFR (S): 8068026: [TESTBUG] Check for -client in gc/g1/TestHumongousCodeCacheRoots.java

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi,

It seems your change introduces dead code:

+        if (output.shouldContain("Unrecognized option: -client") == null) {
+            throw e;
+        }

If the string is found shouldContain will return a reference to 'output' (!= 
null), and if the string is not found it will throw an exception, so the 
introduced throw will never happen, right?

This means the original exception 'e' is lost and a different one is thrown if 
-client was accepted by the VM.

/Jesper
