Hi all, this patch adds a new GC stress test called GCBasher. GCBasher builds up large (well, for some definiton of large) object graphs by figuring out the relations between classes in the JDK. The test usually stresses the GC quite a lot, especially when run with a smaller heap.
The changes in the top-level repository are for JPRT. JPRT will now run the jtreg test GCBasher instead of the old version. Enhancement: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8166790 Webrev: - hotspot: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8166790/hotspot/00/ - top: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8166790/top/00/ Testing: - Running the new jtreg test locally on Linux x86-64: $ jtreg -jdk:build/fastdebug/jdk hotspot/test/gc/stress/TestGCBasher.java (can also be run via: $ make test TEST=hotspot_fast_gc_gcbasher) - JPRT Thanks, Erik
