Are you saying that it is scary to remove -Xloggc? Yes, I would
agree. We've discussed it a bit here. It would be nice to get rid of
it since it comes with a bunch of other issues such as log rotation
etc. One way to handle the transition would be to map
-Xloggc=filename to -Xlog:gc*:filename. It wouldn't be 100% correct
and it wouldn't handle the log rotations flags. But maybe it would
be a smoother transition for some users.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>It’s a small change and a very sensible one. The only thing I’m suggesting is that it’s worth considering this or any change in light of the complexity/change tax that projects will have to pay to move to 9. I see two arguments here, depreciate in 9, remove in 10. Or, just pile it onto the tax. I guess you could argue that since GC logging flags are already changing, the later solution works best in both the short and long term.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Kirk</div></body></html>
