I suggest putting this into jdk.internal.vm.annotation, which is also a good place for the ReservedStackAccess annotation envisioned in JEP 270 (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/270). I filed an RFE, JDK-8138732: "move @HotSpotIntrinsicCandidate to the jdk.internal.vm.annotation package" [1], to track the issue of moving the annotation to a different package. I hope I can take care of it soon. Thank you and best regards,

Thanks. While you're at it, could you please rename the annotation to @IntrinsicCandidate? There's no need for the "HotSpot" prefix any more since this annotation will now be in a package that is reserved for VM-specific annotations.

(Sorry for this late suggestion; this just came up in a discussion of the @ReservedStackAccess annotation for JEP 270, which is also destined for the jdk.internal.vm.annotation package.)

(I've pasted this addendum into JDK-8138732.)
