Hi all,
Please review this patch to remove code that checks and acts upon
ScavengeRootsInCode=0.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8220411/webrev.01/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8220411
Since a while now, we have not supported -XX:ScavengeRootsInCode=0, and
the code actively sets it to 1 if the user passes in 0. This patch
removes the actual code, there's another RFE to deal with changing the
argument handling to explicitly not support that the flag is set to 0.
See: JDK-8144954.
My main motivation for this patch is to get rid of some of the usages of
CollectedHeap::is_scavengable. The intention is that later patches will
completely remove that function.
Thanks,
StefanK
