What's the point of test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/jsig?

[Severin Gehwolf]

Hi,

test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/jsig seems to have come in with JDK-8017498. 
However, corresponding Test8017498.sh seems to have been removed since
and nothing exercises this code as far as I can see. I wonder what's
the point of it?

There are two options as I see it:

1)
Remove dead code in test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/jsig

2)
Rework old Test8017498.sh[1] so that it actually uses classes/natives
in test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/jsig.

Which one should it be? I can work on a webrev once it's known what do
do.

Thanks,
Severin
