Thank you for your comment.
When submitting this PR, I thought that the -XX:CompileCommand=option could handle all available flag types except double and that this follow-up enhancement should be backported for completeness.
However the uint64_t type is used as a flag type but is not handled by CompileCommand.
Now that I know this, I don't think there's much need to backport this fix, so I close this request.
