Greetings,
This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u6:
7071907 4/4 JDK: Full Debug Symbols
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7071907
along with its follow on regression fix:
7160895 3/3 TEST_BUG: tools/launcher/VersionCheck.java attempts to
launch .debuginfo
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7160895
The fixes have recently been pushed to JDK 8, as:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/d922195b678d
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/70d82f2a6c11
and will be included in the JDK8-B36 T&L PIT snapshot.
These fixes have been reviewed on build-...@openjdk.java.net:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-April/005944.html
and hotspot-...@openjdk.java.net:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2012-April/005616.html
and serviceability-...@openjdk.java.net:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2012-April/005720.html
The three review threads are slightly different because not all
comments were originally posted to all three aliases. I did try
to forward all such comments to all three aliases.
The JDK7u6 and JDK8 jdk repo patch files:
- identical except for timestamps, some line numbers,
and some context diff anchors
- no content difference between JDK7u6 and JDK8
