Hello,
Please approve this CR for 7u40, the bug can be find at [1]. The webrev
can be found at [2] and the public review thread at [3].
The reviewers were: Jonathan Gibbons and David Holmes.
This fix solve a very bad regression in JDK 7, compilation time for a
corner case has been improved from 5 minutes to less than 5 seconds.
Tests done:
jprt job - OK for langtools
tests for all platforms.
build JDK 7 + patch - OK
rt.jar size regression - NO
JCK tests - OK for all
The expected risk is very low as long as this patch is a refactoring.
Thanks,
Vicente
