Please review: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dsamersoff/JDK-8114853/webrev.01/ Isn't it possible to set -fno-var-tracking-assignments for just vmstructs.cpp? In my opinion it's really helpful to have as much debug info as possible in the product binaries.

Or even turn off -g entirely for vmStructs? It's not really debuggable anyway.

Story: VTA fails on huge VMStructs::init() so this method is being compiled twice. VTA[1] allows compiler to emit DWARF-3 debugging information for local variable ever if this variable is optimized out at the cost of compilation time and compiler memory consumption. So I decided to turn it off for entire hotspot build to reduce memory footprint/increase compilation speed. 1. https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/VarTrackingAssignments -Dmitry
