JDK-8030783 - Provide regression test for 8026478: -XX:+VerifyAdapterSharing is broken
Description
This flag is broken. The reason is that adapters (gen_i2c_adapter()) that are generated during VM startup do not include the range for StubRoutines::code2() if -XX:+VerifyAdapterCalls is specified. StubRoutines::code2() is only allocated later during startup;  consequently, code2() is NULL. As a result, the size of the generated adapter as well as the code itself does not mactch.
Comments
http://openjdk.java.net/guide/changePlanning.html article 6. '-sqe Change can be verified by running an existing SQE test suite; the bug should identify the suite and the specific test case(s).'

Albert, since you added noreg-sqe, could you please clarify which sqe-tests cover this issue?
19-12-2013
AFAIK, we don't have such sqe-test. Could you please add that as a regression test (or just file an RFE for it and assign it to me) and remove the label?
19-12-2013
Sorry, I forgot about that. java -XX:+VerifyAdapterSharing -version should already trigger the bug.

Further note: The patch also fixes a potential issue with -XX:+VerifyAdapterCalls, which is a diagnostic flag.

Note: 'VerifyAdapterSharing' is develop flag, so it doesn't affect product build.
