Erik:
In preparation for upgrading the toolchains used at Oracle, we need the
build to be clean with the new compiler versions. On Linux, we are
currently aiming at GCC 7.3. In hotspot, two files generate warnings
when using this compiler. I found this issue already filed with a patch
for disabling the warnings and the related issue JDK-8160404 which will
deal with actually fixing the problem. I would like to push the
disabling of the warnings ASAP so that the compiler upgrade project can
continue unhindered.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8187676
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8187676/00/
Looks good.
