RFR (S): 8152856: Xcode 7.3 -Wshift-negative-value compile failure on Mac OS X

[Gerard Ziemski]

hi all,

Since no-one has reviewed this yet and in the meantime we changed https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/HotSpot/StyleGuide to discourage using enums in hotspot (see JDK-8153116 for more details) I’m going to withdraw this proposed fix and try doing it by replacing enums with constant literals instead of using casts on enums.

I therefore withdraw this fix for now.


cheers
