What’s the steps necessary to add a new -XX flag? I’d assumed (naively) that all that was required was to add it to the list of macro’ed flags in hotspot/share/runtime/globals.hpp, but my new flag (“PrintTedMessage”) isn’t recognized when I “make hotspot”; it gets kicked back out with the “Unrecognized flag; did you mean…?” error.
Is there something I’m missing? Does the flag need to be registered someplace else as well? Ted Neward Author, Speaker, Mentor http://www.newardassociates.com t: @tedneward | m: (425) 647-4526
