FW: Porting OpenJDK 6 to Stratus OpenVOS on IA32 -- %EBP and theHotSpot server compiler

[Barnes, Richard]

Hi Dalibor,

I have managed to solve this on my own by using conditional compilation to make sure that %EBP is not part of most reg_classes used for register allocation on VOS.  I'm on to other problems.

Thanks for the tip, though.

Richard

Hi Richard,

I believe that this question is best suited for the hotspot-dev mailing list.
