if the method pattern is invalid, it may accidentally swallow the type.
eg.

$ ./build/linux-x86_64-server-fastdebug/jdk/bin/java -XX:CompileCommand="option,+/*,ccstrlist,ControlIntrinsic,+_fabs"
# To suppress the following error report, specify this argument
# after -XX: or in .hotspotrc: SuppressErrorAt=/compilerOracle.cpp:287

or
java -XX:CompileCommand="option,+/*,uintx,MaxNodeLimit,10"

if the type has been consumed as method pattern, hotspot will assume the option is type-1.
(1) CompileCommand=option,Klass::method,option

It will hit assertion if the option type is not boolean in register_command.
  assert(CompilerOracle::option_matches_type(option, value), "Value must match option type");
