607669 - Verbose flag to flush compiled code as its being generated

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect)

Description

[Rick Reitmaier]

If there is an issue during the generation of code and we crash/assert, we won't have the output from that method.  This is because we queue up the output and when complete reverse it and then dump it; remember we generate the code bottom-up.

Would be nice to have a command-line flag that allows us to flush the output as its being generated.

It would also be nice to have command-line flags that:
-- dump just the name of the method being verified/jitted
-- don't start dumping the super-verbose output until a method with the specified name is encountered

Closing this bug as -Dverbose=raw solves the issue.  

Likewise the points have been addressed by -Dverbose=execpolicy and -policy (see bug 528375)
