Not sure this is the correct list. Please redirect as appropriate. Please review the following proposed change:
There are 3 asserts in unpack.cpp which check only constants, and which the compiler rejects as 'has no effect' (in fastdebug builds). This seems to be caused by: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211029 I propose to fix this by defining a STATIC_ASSERT which can evaluate and reject this at compile time: Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/JDK-8211071/webrev.00/ Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211071 It might be useful to define the STATIC_ASSERT in a more central place to be used elsewhere too. For example, there is a similar #define in Hotspot's debug.hpp Thanks, Roman
