JDK-8282773 - Refactor parsing of integer VM options
Description
JDK-8282773 adds test cases for VM options that have numeric types, but we are still missing test cases where a fractional part is specified for a double value. E.g., -XX:TestFlagFor+_double=1.234

These test cases aren't very important since the VM just calls strtod() without doing any further processing, so we would essentially be testing strtod in the C library.
Comments
Runtime Triage: This is not on our current list of priorities. We will consider this feature if we receive additional customer requirements.
