You've added a new arg, but that arg could be passed to an older JVM that doesn't support it (I think it just gets ignored), or an older JVM would fail to pass the arg to a new JVM that is expecting it. Also, please see my comments in [JDK-8256451](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8256451) regarding SA heap dumping support, and how it will lack this ability to compress the heap dump. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1251
