why doesn't trigger compile when loop 10700 times? (original) (raw)

Add -Xbatch (or -XX:-BackgroundCompilation) otherwise code continue execution after requesting compilation and may finish before compilation starts. Also counters are not precise so you may not see exact 10700.

hi, everyone!

I have some question about the jdk 1.7 compiler. According to the source code of "hotspot\src\share\vm\interpreter\invocationCounter.cpp", the "InterpreterBackwardBranchLimit" is calculated by the following rules: if (ProfileInterpreter) { InterpreterBackwardBranchLimit = (CompileThreshold * (OnStackReplacePercentage - InterpreterProfilePercentage)) / 100; } else { InterpreterBackwardBranchLimit = ((CompileThreshold * OnStackReplacePercentage) / 100) << numberofnoncountbits; } So if I run a piece of code on a server edition jvm, the InterpreterBackwardBranchLimit should be 10700 (CompileThreshold is 10000, OnStackReplacePercentage is 140, and InterpreterProfilePercentage is 33). But when I added -XX:+PrintCompilation, a loop with 10700 times would not print anything. When the loop growed up to 14564 times, the compiler began to work. Could anybody give me some advice? I use jdk1.7.067, and the test code as following: public class OSRDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { int result = 1; for (int i = 1; i < 10700; i++) {//14564 result+=i; } System.out.println(result); } } Thank you very much! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas
