Hi,I am trying to build latest jdk6 [1] on windows-i586 using MSVS2003. Initially I was unable to do it after SAFESEH flag was enabled in hotspot/make/windows/makefiles/sa.make [2], I got LNK2026 error on linking sawindbg.dll [3].
I was able to link it successfully changing compile flag for sawindbg.cpp from "ZI" to "Zi" [4] (flags reference [5]).
I would appreciate if someone could tell me about negative impact on Service Agent abilities this change may bring (if any). I read about Edit and Continue debug features [6], but my knowledge here (and in win32 in general) is limited to MSDN/StackOverflow topics.
If this is security-sensitive topic (it breaks after SAFESEH flag) I would appreciate off-list help.
