(Adding hotspot-runtime-dev since some changes are in hotspot code).

Thanks, yes, looks like we can clean this up and also remove the deprecated methods at the same time. Here are some preliminary webrevs to clean up unsafe and also remove all old, deprecated and monitor-related methods: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/jdk-unsafe-cleanup/webrev/jdk.patch http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/hotspot-unsafe-cleanup/webrev/ Passes all tests i have thrown at it locally. There is some additional clean up that could be done to remove prefetch read/write intrinsics hooked up to older versions of Unsafe: _dointrinsic(prefetchRead, sunmiscUnsafe, prefetchReadname, prefetchsignature, FRN) _ _doname( prefetchReadname, "prefetchRead") _ _dointrinsic(prefetchWrite, sunmiscUnsafe, prefetchWritename, prefetchsignature, FRN) _ _doname( prefetchWritename, "prefetchWrite") _ _dointrinsic(prefetchReadStatic, sunmiscUnsafe, prefetchReadStaticname, prefetchsignature, FSN) _ _doname( prefetchReadStaticname, "prefetchReadStatic") _ _dointrinsic(prefetchWriteStatic, sunmiscUnsafe, prefetchWriteStaticname, prefetchsignature, FSN) _ _doname( prefetchWriteStaticname, "prefetchWriteStatic") _ That will also require updates in various other files. I presume these prefetch methods are never used throughout the runtime? Paul.
