Hi,
Jonathan Gibbons has been extending jtreg so that tests can be run in
the same vm. He also made it so that most langtools tests are run that
way. That brings an enormous speed up. Since running all jdk tests takes
ages it would be great if we could use this same speedup there.
Problem is that -samevm only works if all tests have been adapted to
behave well (or marked as needing /othervm). So my idea was to add a
"whitelist mechanism" so you can indicate which (sub)dirs are ready to
be run with samevm.
Luckily jtreg has mostly been setup for this already. All Actions ask
their Script whether or not they should be running in an othervm. So we
hook into that to check the scripts location against a whitelist.
I choose the TEST.ROOT file as the location of the whitelist. Since that
is also the root of the test suite. I made the code so that the
whitelist is only used when running the full test suite from the root.
That way you can still experiment with -samevm or -othervm when running
subtrees of tests.
Also CCed jdk-regtest at sun.com since that address is mentioned in the
TEST.ROOT file with an request to contact them if you change anything in
that file.
Below is the implementation as I checked into icedtea6 (patch also
attached).
