Description
Hi-

Several of my JDK7 JPRT build/test jobs failed recently with:

It appears the fastdebug build has grown enough to blow through some
preallocated size.

EVALUATION Only occurs with fastdebug builds of the JDK, which use more space in the shared archive: over 1M more for "pre-ordered read-only objects" plus fairly small additional amounts for other components. This affects both product and fastdebug JVMs. Will increase the default SharedReadOnlySize from 8M to 10M in globals.hpp. *** (#1 of 1): [ UNSAVED ] ###@###.###

WORK AROUND The fastdebug build is very close to the perm gen limit. This fails when using the latest nightly build on solaris-x86: /opt/java/jdk1.7.0-b68-2009-08-04/fastdebug/bin/java -XX:SharedReadOnlySize=8100K -Xshare:dump This works: % /opt/java/jdk1.7.0-b68-2009-08-04/fastdebug/bin/java -XX:SharedReadOnlySize=8193K -Xshare:dump VM option 'SharedReadOnlySize=8193K' Loading classes to share ... done.
