i don't know about that (maybe someone on the list knows where one can download pre-built non-product binaries from), but if you are set up to build hotspot, you would use target fastdebug.

Thanks.
Are the non-product builds available online to download ? -Suraj On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 1:37 PM, Ramki Ramakrishna <y.s.ramakrishna at oracle.com <mailto:y.s.ramakrishna at oracle.com>> wrote: Hi Suraj -- Either: (1) use a non-product build where the flag is available, OR (2) rebuild with Verbose declared a product flag (but you will have to deal with develop->product contagion which will require more such changes), OR (3) (probably the easiest in a specific product build) rebuild with Verbose changed to a new product flag of your choice for the specific sites where you want to print the info but want to retain the option of turning it off. Depending on where you do this, this may also cause a develop->product contagion, but it will be a more controlled burn, if i may be allowed to mix my metaphors. (..) anything else? The above are all one-off's for use in a specific build. There may be good reason to protect some of these more useful messages with a product flag rather than with a develop flag. I recall Krystal Mok also mentioning something similar. Perhaps the community can work on what are the kinds of messages one might want to see in production (under control of a suitable manageable/product flag), and submit an OpenJDK patch with those changes (hopefully the performance impact of the check or enablement will be minor enough when these changes are for example communicating ergonomic decisions etc. -- this should of course be performance checked before a patch is submitted). I'm also hoping that in the future some of these may be captured by the logging framework under construction. Those working on or planning to work on the logging framework may hav more to add. So I am cc'ing the serviceability alias as well. -- ramki

How can I enable DEVELOP mode flags like "Verbose" ? I'm interested in seeing what the GC code logs - for example : if (PrintGCDetails && Verbose) { gclogortty->printcr("ConcurrentMarkSweepGeneration::shrinkby:" " desiredbytes " SIZEFORMAT " shrinkablesizeinbytes " SIZEFORMAT " alignedshrinkablesizeinbytes " SIZEFORMAT " bytes " SIZEFORMAT, desiredbytes, shrinkablesizeinbytes, alignedshrinkablesizeinbytes, bytes); gclogortty->printcr(" oldend " SIZEFORMAT " unallocatedstart " SIZEFORMAT, oldend, unallocatedstart); }
