111 Assert is never happens on Windows, so it's better to move it to os_posix

113 newbuf_len doesn't account prefix_len

115 you may consider to use pre-calculated at ll. 108 prefix rather than calculate it again.

116 int ret redefined it causes a warning.

(Retested and works fine.)

In worst case (windows, overflow) the code would parse format string four times. You're right. I've added a check. New amount of times vnsprintf() is called: posix, fits => 1 posix, overflow => 2 windows, fits => 1 windows, overflow => 3 (the best performance we can get) Also NEWCHEAPARRAY takes a lock and might become a performance bottleneck. POSIX equivalent of vscprintf(fmt, args) is vsnprintf(NULL, 0, fmt, args) So it might be better to create os::logvcprintf(fmt, args), then write code at log.hpp as: int buflen = os::logvcprintf(fmt, args); assert(buflen < 2*pagesize, "Stack overflow in logging"); char buf[buflen]; vsprintf(buf, fmt, args); I don't think this would work anyway. A char[] needs a static size. Thanks, Rachel -Dmitry

Summary: In logging/log.hpp, the logging vwrite function previously asserted that the buffer remains within 512 characters, which is too short for logging message of non-pre-determined length, e.g. for vtable and itable function names. Now, the function resizes the buffer to the appropriate length, asserting only that the resulting buffer is valid. Includes tag "logtest" to test that logging can print an output of 518 characters. Open webrev:http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rprotacio/8138916/ Bug:https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138916 Includes own acceptance test, and passes JPRT and remote hotspot/test tests. Thank you, Rachel
