Warnings Cleanup in Hotspot

Jeremy,

It seems your suggested patch is incomplete as the build on linux was 
failing.
Recall that warnings are treated as errors as in gcc.make:
   # Compiler warnings are treated as errors
   WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS = -Werror

Below is the list of files I needed to change for the build to go 
through on linux:
make/linux/makefiles/gcc.make
src/share/vm/c1/c1_IR.cpp
src/share/vm/ci/ciUtilities.hpp
src/share/vm/classfile/genericSignatures.cpp
src/share/vm/classfile/verifier.hpp
src/share/vm/code/nmethod.cpp
src/share/vm/memory/cardTableModRefBS.cpp
src/share/vm/memory/universe.cpp
src/share/vm/oops/constantPool.cpp
src/share/vm/prims/forte.cpp
src/share/vm/runtime/perfData.hpp
src/share/vm/runtime/sharedRuntime.cpp
src/share/vm/services/diagnosticArgument.cpp
src/share/vm/utilities/exceptions.hpp
src/share/vm/utilities/taskqueue.hpp

Most of the warnings are related to: "statement has no effect"
e.g. in exceptions.hpp, I needed to change
#define CHECK                                    THREAD); if 
(HAS_PENDING_EXCEPTION) return       ; (0
to
#define CHECK                                    THREAD); if 
(HAS_PENDING_EXCEPTION) return ; (void)(0

I don't want to share webrev yet since I haven't built on other 
platforms and haven't done any testing on the change.

2 ways I'm thinking of fixing it:
1) include the -Wunused-value warning flag
     this means changes are required on the files listed above

2) not include the -Wunused-value warning flag but only fixing the 
potential coding errors which would impact functionality as you pointed 
out in your email. This should result in a smaller changeset.
