Hi

Please help review the change for JDK-8193479 issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8193479 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8193479/webrev The internal interface ArrayEn/Decoder for ISO88591 has been removed because it is no longer used by StringCoding class, but it appears it is being used by hotspot Test6896617.java to verify the SSE instructions on x86. The proposed change here is to simply restore the internal interface ArrayEn/Decoder for ISO88591 to avoid blocking hotspot testing for now. I can't tell if this update makes use of the SSE instructions or not.

Would it be better to just exclude the test by adding to the ProblemList.txt and create a hotspot/compiler bug to get it updated to work with the new implementation?
