Value Types - Meet some issues during execution

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi Fabien,

the current value types prototype has still very limited JIT support (C2 only) and does not support all of the new vbytecodes and functionality yet. For an example of what already works, please have a look at these tests:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/valhalla/valhalla/hotspot/file/tip/test/compiler/valhalla/valuetypes/ValueTypeTestBench.java
Especially calls on value types are not yet working.

If you are experimenting with value types, it's best to disable compilation for now (-Xint).

I'm actively working on this and will constantly update the tests if new functionality is added. I also plan to send a summary of the implementation at some point.

Best regards,
Tobias
