Hello all,
Please review my fix which reorganizes the alias table for Unified Logging.
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146800
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mockner/aliastable.03/
Summary:
How logging aliases used to handled - At the beginning of
parse_each_vm_init_arg() in arguments.cpp, each "-XX" argument would be
looked up in the logging alias table to see if there was a match. If a
match was found, then the entire argument would be replaced by a
corresponding unified logging argument. This argument would then cascade
through the giant case structure until it was caught and handled close
to the bottom of parse_each_vm_init_arg (which happens hundreds of lines
later).
There is a section of code that handles aliases and deprecation for -XX
options already. After this fix, logging aliases will be handled here
instead of substituting entire logging expressions at the beginning of
parse_each_vm_init_arg.
Tested with jtreg runtime tests. This includes several logging tests for
recently aliased flags.
Thanks,
Max
