Hi
Please help review the change for JDK-8193479
issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193479
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8193479/webrev
The internal interface ArrayEn/Decoder for ISO8859_1 has been removed
because it is no longer used by StringCoding class, but it appears it is
being used by hotspot Test6896617.java to verify the SSE instructions
on x86. The proposed change here is to simply restore the internal
interface
ArrayEn/Decoder for ISO8859_1 to avoid blocking hotspot testing for now.
I can't tell if this update makes use of the SSE instructions or not.
Would it be better to just exclude the test by adding to the
ProblemList.txt and create a hotspot/compiler bug to get it updated to
work with the new implementation?
