David, Martin,

webrev has been updated to fix the test directly.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8193479/webrev

That seems to me to be invalidating the whole point of the test, which was a regression test for 6896617 to check that the optimizations put in place actually get applied. ??

But I'll leave that up to the compiler guys to decide.

Assume I would need hotspot guys' help to review and push into hs repo?

You'll need to fix in both jdk/hs and jdk/jdk as the breakage is now in both. Fix one and import to the other.

But I still suggest adding the test to ProblemList.txt now so that this isn't broken in JDK 10 fork, then fix the actual test at a more leisurely pace in jdk/hs.

I agree with David. Lets exclude it for now and fix it later properly without rush.

Thanks
Vladimir


But again I'll defer to compiler folk.

David

thanks,
Sherman

It would add more confusion to a something that's already difficult to understand.  It's OK as a temporary measure, but I don't think we want product code just to enable tests in hotspot.  Can the hotspot folks modify their test, perhaps making this code part of the test?

    Hi

    Please help review the change for JDK-8193479

    issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193479
    <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193479>
    webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8193479/webrev
    <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Esherman/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.

    thanks,
    Sherman
