Hi all,
since JEP 291 [0] has been targeted for JDK 9 [1], here is the patch
that implements the change. The patch itself is very small, it just adds
a "-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" entry to the special_jvm_flags array and
updates a test. The test checks that a deprecation message is correctly
printed for the flags:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-Xconcgc
-Xnocongc
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8179013/00/
Issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8179013
Testing:
- JPRT
- make run-test TEST=hotspot/test/gc/startup_warnings/TestCMS.java
- make run-test TEST=hotspot_jprt
(tested with both open and commercial builds)
Thanks,
Erik
