Linux PPC64LE : missing -XX options ?

[Tony Reix]

Hi,

I've just found that the option "-XX:+TieredCompilation" is missing on Linux/PPC64LE (RHEL 7.1 & Ubuntu 14.04.2).
 - Why ?
 - Are there other -XX options that are not available on this platform ?
 - Is there a document that summarizes the limitations of the port of OpenJDK on this platform ?


Using the "-XX:+TieredCompilation" on this platform leads to a "fatal error" :

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  Internal Error (compilationPolicy.cpp:80), pid=5012, tid=70367514390992
#  Error: Unimplemented()
#

I've been said that this (fatal error instead of a warning) has been fixed on OpenJDK 8 .
Do you plan to fix it on v7 ?


Thanks

Cordialement,

Tony Reix
