Hi,
Please review this @requires addition to avoid failures described in:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8069011
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sjohanss/8069011/hotspot.00
Summary:
This is a bug of the same kind as JDK-8040935. The test specifies a
small heap and is then run with -XX:+AggressiveOpts. This causes the JVM
to exit during startup because a GC is triggered before we are ready to
handle one. The fix is to add a @requires-statement to ensure
AggressiveOpts is not enabled. After many discussions this seems to be
the preferred solutions among the people I've spoken to.
Thanks,
StefanJ
