Yeah. I guess we could add a config _discovery_is_concurrent or similar in RP, and check that. Or maybe one of _discovery_is_mt or _discovery_is_atomic already covers that? I couldn't immediately tell/100% understand their semantics. Seems worthy to look at after this? >> - taskqueue.hpp has some small adjustments to enable subclassing > > Why this change instead of JDK-8204947? As the description from that RFE > says: > "The ShenandoahTaskTerminator from the Shenandoah project is a much better > implementation of a task terminator.” Yeah, see Zhengyu's comment. Let's ignore those changes for this review (for now), expect our impl ported to taskqueue.hpp/cpp soon. Roman
