A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Specifying AOTCacheOutput with a blank path causes the JVM to crash and generate a hs_err file.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the java command with an empty path for the AOT cache output file `java -XX:AOTCacheOutput=`

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
When the `=` sign is omitted, the output is "Improperly specified VM option 'AOTCacheOutput'", which is what I would expect if the path is blank.
ACTUAL -
