Starting point from current TestFramework branch: https://github.com/chhagedorn/valhalla/tree/TestingFramework

Goal
===
Convert all tests found in https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/tree/lworld/test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/valhalla/inlinetypes that use the old test framework (search for @Test annotation) to use the new test framework. The goal is to have all the converted tests in the same directory again such that we have a diff view of the applied changes. 

I temporarly moved all unprocessed tests from compiler/valhalla/inlinetypes to compiler/valhalla/old_inlinetypes to have a better overview of the ongoing conversion (can be done differently/undone if better suitable). To move files around, use `git mv` as sometimes, moving it directly with `mv` results in a deletion of the old file and creation of a new file and the "applied changes view" is lost).

Requirements
=========
- Remove all references to the old framework and only use the new test framework
- Do not modify the current test code and associated helper methods if it is not absolutely required by the framework (verifiers, tests, helper methods/classes etc.)
- All tests should pass by invoking them with jtreg

Conversion
=======
Maybe the conversion can be automated to some extent. I already moved all helper classes (MyValue1.java, MyValue2.java etc.) to a single file InlineTypes.java such that a JTreg test only needs to specify "@compile InlineTypes.java" if such a helper class is used.

Here is a list of conversion rules that can be applied for the tests:
- Turn someTest_verifier methods into @Run methods
  * @DontCompile of verifiers -> @Run
  * boolean warmup -> TestInfo info, info.isWarmUp()
  * @Warmup at @Test -> @Warmup at @Run
  * @Test(valid = .., failOn = .., match = .., matchCount ..) -> @IR
    - valid -> applyIf
    - regex like STORE, LOAD etc. -> use InlineTypes.STORE, InlineTypes.LOAD etc. or static import InlineTypes.IRNode and directly use STORE, LOAD etc. (all regexes moved to InlineTypes.IRNode)
    - concatted failOn: failOn = STORE + LOAD -> failOn = {InlineTypes.IRNode.STORE, InlineTypes..IRNodeLOAD} (use list and not concat with +)
    - match = {STORE}, matchCount = {1} -> counts = {InlineTypes.IRNode.STORE, "1"} (match/matchCount are now merged together with a single counts attribute with the node regex followed by the count as string)
- Use JTreg header as shown in the applied examples below
- static final String[][] scenarios = {{}, {"-XX:+PatchALot"}} -> use TestFramework.runWithScenarios() and make sure that scenario indices match, starting at 0; remove getNumScenarios() and getVMParameters()
  * Example: ExampleTestUnloadedInlineTypeField (see below)
- getExtraVMParameters -> load default scenarios and add the additionally specified flags, remove getExtraVMParameters()
  * Example: ExampleTestNullableInlineTypes.java
- @OSRCompileOnly -> @Test(compLevel = CompLevel.WAIT_FOR_COMPILATION)
  * Example: jdk.test.lib.hotspot.ir_framework.tests.TestRunTests.test9(): conversion example of  TestOnStackReplacement.test6()
    
Some applied examples of real Valhalla tests:
- ExampleTestNullableInlineTypes.java (based on TestNullableInlineTypes.java):
https://github.com/chhagedorn/valhalla/blob/9ec9f28d715f3566e10252a3db547ed2fd9e0bfb/test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/valhalla/inlinetypes/ExampleTestUnloadedInlineTypeField.java
- ExampleTestUnloadedInlineTypeField.java (based on TestUnloadedInlineTypeField.java):
https://github.com/chhagedorn/valhalla/blob/9ec9f28d715f3566e10252a3db547ed2fd9e0bfb/test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/valhalla/inlinetypes/ExampleTestUnloadedInlineTypeField.java

Some made up examples to illustrate the list of conversion rules above
1) Simplest case
  @Test
  public void test(int x) {
  }
- @DontCompile
- public void test_verifier(boolean warmup) {
-     test(34);
- }
+ @Run(test = "test")
+ public void test_verifier(/* TestInfo info */) { // Do not need to specify TestInfo info if warmup not used. But can also keep parameter for more straight forward conversion
+     test(34);
+ }

2) Warmup and query warmup parameter
  @Test
- @Warmup(1000) // For @Run tests: must move @Warmup to @Run method.
  public void test(int x) {
  }
- @DontCompile
- public void test_verifier(boolean warmup) {
-     // Different ways of calling test()
-     if (warmup) {
-         test(someComplexSetup()); // Complex setup of argument
-     } else {
-         verify(test(45));
-     }
- }
+ @Run(test = "test")
+ @Warmup(1000)
+ public void test_verifier(TestInfo info) {
+     if (info.isWarmUp()) {
+         test(someComplexSetup());
+     } else {
+         verify(test(45));
+     }
+ }

3) IR rules
- @Test(valid = ACmpProfileOn, failOn = LOOP + STORE, match = { TRAP }, matchCount = { 1})
- @Test(valid = ACmpProfileOff, failOn = STORE)
- @Test(valid = TypeProfileOn, failOn = LOAD)
- @Test(match = { SUBSTITUTABILITY_TEST }, matchCount = { 1 })
- public void test() {
- }
- @DontCompile
- public void test_verifier(boolean warmup) {
-     test(34);
- }

+ @Test
+ @IR(applyIf = {"UseACmpProfile", "true"}, failOn = {InlineType.IRNode.LOOP, InlineType.IRNode.STORE} , counts = {InlineType.IRNode.TRAP, "1"}
+ @IR(applyIf = {"UseACmpProfile", "false"}, failOn = InlineType.IRNode.STORE)
+ @IR(applyIf = {"TypeProfileLevel", "222"}, failOn = InlineType.IRNode.LOAD)
+ @IR(counts = {InlineType.IRNode.SUBSTITUTABILITY_TEST, "1"})
+ public void test() {
+ }

+ @Run(test = "test")
+ public void test_verifier(/* TestInfo info */) { // Do not need to specify TestInfo info if warmup not used. But can also keep parameter for more straight forward conversion
+     test(34);
+ }
