Where in OpenJDK repository can I find Hotspot VM source codes?

Hi Yijie,

I don't think there is one that exactly matches what you want.

I wrote a doc [1] long ago about the correspondence of Sun/Oracle JDK 6
versus OpenJDK 6 in terms of the JVM used. Unfortunately, because of the
history behind OpenJDK 6 (it's a backport of OpenJDK 7 to be a JDK6
release, rather than the open sourced version of Sun/Oracle JDK 6), there
was no exact correspondence to begin with.

Back then, the HotSpot Expression release model was still in place, so the
Oracle JDK 6 and the then still-in-development JDK 7 would mostly share the
same JVM, that's how the OpenJDK 6 HotSpot VM still very closely match the
Oracle JDK 6 version -- less some proprietary features like
UseCompressedStrings, and a bit of delay in releasing the new tiered
compilation features, etc.

After Oracle JDK6u32 or something, I don't think the OpenJDK 6 HotSpot VM
reflected changes to the Oracle JDK 6 any more, as JDK6 was going towards
EOL'd and less changes from Oracle JDK 6 were sync'd to OpenJDK 6.
Red Hat later took over the maintenance of the OpenJDK 6 release, and it
further diverged from the Oracle internal one.

What's in Oracle JDK6u45 specifically that you wanted to check the sources
for, though?
