  • Type: Sub-task
  • Component: hotspot
  • Sub-Component: runtime
  • Affected Version: 9
  • Priority: P2
  • Status: Resolved

Description
Following on from JDK-8139891, tests in the hotspot repo should be reviewed
to determine what, if any, should continue to test sun.misc.Unsafe, while the
large majority ( consumers of Unsafe ) should be updated to use the internal
Unsafe.

Consideration should be given to adding new tests for Unsafe intrinsics.
Comments
JDK-8153737 updated, where appropriate, tests to use the internal Unsafe. rather than sun.misc.Unsafe.

JDK-8143628 added additional tests, to hotspot/test/compiler/unsafe, for both the internal and sun.misc Unsafe classes. Given this new test coverage it should be ok to now just moved any test references from sun.misc to the internal Unsafe
