A couple of minor comments. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stuefe/webrevs/8204958-jcmd-cleanups/webrev.00/webrev/src/hotspot/share/services/diagnosticArgument.hpp.udiff.html - void value_as_str(char *buf, size_t len) { return to_string(_value, buf, len);} + void value_as_str(char *buf, size_t len) const { to_string(_value, buf, len);} I'm puzzled a little bit. How did the value_as_str() returned something before if the function has void return type? I guess because to_string() returns void. I just did a little experiment and the following compiles just fine: void return_void() {   return; } void return_void2() {   return return_void(); } http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stuefe/webrevs/8204958-jcmd-cleanups/webrev.00/webrev/src/hotspot/share/services/diagnosticFramework.hpp.frames.html 170 DCmdArgumentInfo(const char* name, const char* description, const char* type, 171 const char* default_string, bool mandatory, bool option, 172 bool multiple, int position = -1) 173 : _name(name), _description(description), _type(type) 174 , _default_string(default_string), _mandatory(mandatory) 175 , _option(option), _multiple(multiple), _position(-1) {}   Would it be more safe for the _position initialization to be: _position(position)? I think it's actually a bug and should be _position(position). Chris Thanks, Serguei On 6/13/18 06:41, Thomas Stüfe wrote: Hi all, while working on jcmd I saw some minor cleanup possibilities. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stuefe/webrevs/8204958-jcmd-cleanups/webrev.00/webrev/ Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204958 Most of them are const correctness and using initializer lists instead of java-style member initialization in these C++ classes. Other changes: - Added a ResourceMark into the DCmd::parse_and_execute() loop - removed DCmdFactory::create_global_DCmd() (and following that, DCmdFactory::create_Cheap_instance()) since I did not find anyone using that function. - Also in DCmdFactory, I removed a number of setters which were never called and for attributes which should be immutable: hidden, flags, enabled. This is really a rather light cleanup. It did not touch any larger issues. Thank you, Thomas
