Since icedtea-3.16 currently doesn't build with gcc-10 out of the box I gave the prebuilt package a try and noticed that it is apparently built without Shenandoah GC. Including it would be great since there is virtually no downside, risk or added complexity; it does nothing unless enabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge icedtea-bin 2. try to use with "-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseShenandoahGC" 3. Shenandoah is not supported :(
Thanks for suggestion. I'll check how stable build is and maybe will enable it on appropriate arches for 3.17
It gets the same amount of testing as the regular build, so should be fine. That's also the HotSpot tree used by Fedora & RHEL.
(In reply to Andrew John Hughes from comment #2) > It gets the same amount of testing as the regular build, so should be fine. > That's also the HotSpot tree used by Fedora & RHEL. that's great to hear. ok, I'll definitely enable it on supported arches for next version. btw, Andrew, I sent you an email recently asking about some changes to icedtea ebuild, did you have a chance to read it?
