> We add a small feature, which prints a warning if user explicitly requests `CreateCoredumpOnCrash`, but it's disabled on the os level.
> 
> This behavior is the same as other VM features that can be turned on by runtime flags, but are unavailable. For example we show `"UseCRC32 specified, but not supported on this CPU"` if `UseCRC32` is set, but unavailable.
> 
> Example of output:

> # ulimit -c 0                                                         
> # ./build/xcode/build/jdk/bin/java -XX:+CreateCoredumpOnCrash -version
> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: CreateCoredumpOnCrash specified, but Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again
