RFR (S) 8015329: Print reason for failed MiniDumpWriteDump() call

[Christian Tornqvist]

Hi everyone,

 

Please review this small change, we now print the reason for a failed call
to MiniDumpWriteDump(). Also changed so that we now produce minidumps by
default on client versions of Windows when running with a debug build of the
JVM. Note that it is still possible to turn this off by
-XX:-CreateMinidumpOnCrash 

 

Tested the change by failing the call to MiniDumpWriteDump in a debugger and
manually verified the output. Verified the minidump on debug builds change
by running:

 

java -XX:ErrorHandlerTest=9 -version

java -XX:-CreateMinidumpOnCrash -XX:ErrorHandlerTest=9 -version 

java -XX:+CreateMinidumpOnCrash -XX:ErrorHandlerTest=9 -version
