Hi,
Please review these Hotspot VM only changes to process the seven
module-specific options that have been renamed to have gnu-like names.
JDK changes for this bug will be reviewed separately.
Descriptions of these options are here
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/293>. For these six options,
--module-path, --upgrade-module-path, --add-modules, --limit-modules,
--add-reads, and --add-exports, the JVM just sets a system property.
For the --patch-module option, the JVM sets a system property and then
processes the option in the same way as when it was named -Xpatch.
Additionally, the JVM now checks properties specified on the command
line. If a property matches one of the properties used by one of the
above options then the JVM ignores the property. This forces users to
use the explicit option when wanting to do things like add a module or a
package export.
The RFR contains two new tests. Also, many existing tests were changed
to use the new option names.
JBS Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8136930
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hseigel/bug_8136930.hs/
The changes were tested with the JCK lang and VM tests, the JTreg
hotspot tests, and the RBT hotspot nightlies.
Thanks, Harold
