RFR 8134995(M): [REDO] GC: implement ranges (optionally constraints) for those flags that have them missing

[gerard ziemski]

hi Sangheon,

#1 test/runtime/CommandLine/OptionsValidation/TestOptionsWithRanges.java

Please change the comment to:

+        /*
+         * Exclude below options as their maximum value would consume too much memory
+         * and would affect other tests that run in parallel.
+         */


#2 What tests did you run? Did you run test/runtime/CommandLine/OptionsValidation on all platforms (including embedded)?


cheers
