(Generic|Timed|Benchmark)DynamicCounters
option overflow. This feature is only supported on AMD64.
WARNING: No descriptive error message will be printed! In case of an overflow,
manual inspection of the emitted code is required.
ActiveProcessorCountInteger-1
Overwrites the available number of processors provided by the OS. Any
value <= 0 means using the processor count from the OS.
AggregatedMetricsFileStringnull
File to which aggregated metrics are dumped at shutdown. A CSV format
is used if the file ends with .csv otherwise a more human readable
format is used. If not specified, metrics are dumped to the console.
AliasArrayTypeFlowsBooleantrue
Model all array type flows using a unique elements type flow
abstraction.
AllocationProfilingThresholdInteger1048576
The minimum size in bytes required for printing an allocation profiling
entry
AllocationSiteSensitiveHeapBooleanfalse
A context sensitive heap means that each heap allocated object is
modeled by using at least the allocation site.
AlwaysInlineIntrinsicsBooleanfalse
Unconditionally inline intrinsics
AlwaysInlineVTableStubsBooleanfalse
AnalysisContextSensitivityString"insens"
Controls the static analysis context sensitivity. Available values:
insens (context insensitive analysis), allocsens (context insensitive
analysis, context insensitive heap, allocation site sensitive heap),
_1obj (1 object sensitive analysis with a context insensitive heap),
_2obj1h (2 object sensitive with a 1 context sensitive heap)
AnalysisSizeCutoffInteger8
The maximum size of type and method profiles returned by the static
analysis. -1 indicates no limitation.
AnalysisStatisticsFileStringnull
Analysis results statistics file.
AuditHandlesBooleanfalse
Record stack trace along with scoped foreign object reference wrappers to debug issue with a wrapper being used after its scope has closed.
BenchmarkCounterPrintingCutoffBooleantrue
Use a cutoff to print only most significant counters.
BenchmarkCountersDumpDynamicBooleantrue
Dump dynamic counters
BenchmarkCountersDumpStaticBooleanfalse
Dump static counters
BenchmarkCountersFileStringnull
File to which benchmark counters are dumped. A CSV format is used if
the file ends with .csv otherwise a more human readable format is used.
The fields in the CSV format are: category, group, name, value
BenchmarkDynamicCountersStringnull
Turn on the benchmark counters. The format of this option is:
          
  (err|out),start pattern,end pattern
  
Start counting when the start pattern matches on the given stream and stop when the end pattern occurs.
You can use "~" to match 1 or more digits.
Examples:
          
  err, starting =====, PASSED in
  out,Iteration ~ (~s) begins:,Iteration ~ (~s) ends:
  
The first pattern matches DaCapo output and the second matches SPECjvm2008 output.
          
As a more detailed example, here are the options to use for getting statistics
about allocations within the DaCapo pmd benchmark:
          
  -XX:JVMCICounterSize= -XX:-JVMCICountersExcludeCompiler \
  -Dgraal.BenchmarkDynamicCounters="err, starting ====, PASSED in " \
  -Dgraal.ProfileAllocations=true
  
The JVMCICounterSize value depends on the granularity of the profiling -
10000 should be sufficient. Omit JVMCICountersExcludeCompiler to exclude
counting allocations on the compiler threads.
The counters can be further configured by the ProfileAllocationsContext option.
          
We highly recommend the use of -Dgraal.AbortOnBenchmarkCounterOverflow=true to
detect counter overflows eagerly.
BootstrapInitializeOnlyBooleanfalse

BootstrapTimeoutDouble15.0
Maximum time in minutes to spend bootstrapping (0 to disable this
limit).

    ExitVM  - Same as Diagnose except that the VM process exits after retrying.
    
* If "Diagnose" is set compilation will be retried with extra diagnostics enabled including dumping (see file:doc-files/DumpHelp.txt). 
  In such a scenario DiagnoseDumpLevel can be used to specify the dump level (DebugContext dump levels) accordingly.
      
CompilationIsolateAddressSpaceSizeLong0
Size of the reserved address space of each compilation isolate (0:
default for new isolates).
CompilationWatchDogStackTraceIntervalDouble60.0
Interval in seconds between a watch dog reporting stack traces for long

DumpPathString"graal_dumps"
The directory where various Graal dump files are written.
DumpStringnull
Filter pattern for specifying scopes in which dumping is enabled.
          
A filter is a list of comma-separated terms of the form:
 
  [:]
 
If  contains a "*" or "?" character, it is interpreted as a glob pattern.
Otherwise, it is interpreted as a substring. If  is empty, it
matches every scope. If : is omitted, it defaults to 1. The term
~ is a shorthand for :0 to disable a debug facility for a pattern.
          
The default log level is 0 (disabled). Terms with an empty pattern set
the default log level to the specified value. The last
matching term with a non-empty pattern selects the level specified. If
no term matches, the log level is the default level. A filter with no
terms matches every scope with a log level of 1.
          
Examples of debug filters:
--------- 
  (empty string)
          
  Matches any scope with level 1.
--------- 
  :1
          
  Matches any scope with level 1.
--------- 
  *
          
  Matches any scope with level 1.
--------- 
  CodeGen,CodeInstall
          
  Matches scopes containing "CodeGen" or "CodeInstall", both with level 1.
--------- 
  CodeGen:2,CodeInstall:1
          
  Matches scopes containing "CodeGen" with level 2, or "CodeInstall" with level 1.
---------
  Outer:2,Inner:0}
          
  Matches scopes containing "Outer" with log level 2, or "Inner" with log level 0. If the scope
  name contains both patterns then the log level will be 0. This is useful for silencing subscopes.
---------
  :1,Dead:2
          
  Matches scopes containing "Dead" with level 2, and all other scopes with level 1.
--------- 
  Dead:0,:1
          
  Matches all scopes with level 1, except those containing "Dead".   Note that the location of
  the :1 doesn't matter since it's specifying the default log level so it's the same as
  specifying :1,Dead:0.
--------- 
  Code*
          
  Matches scopes starting with "Code" with level 1.
--------- 
  Code,~Dead
          
  Matches scopes containing "Code" but not "Dead", with level 1.

FallbackExecutor.
FlightRecorderLoggingString"all=warning"
Usage: -XX:FlightRecorderLogging=[tag1[+tag2...][*][=level][,...]]
          
When this option is not set, logging is enabled at a level of WARNING.
When this option is set to the empty string, logging is enabled at a level of INFO.
When this option is set to "disable", logging is disabled entirely.
          
Otherwise, this option expects a comma separated list of tag combinations, each with an optional wildcard (*) and level.
A tag combination without a level is given a default level of INFO.
Messages with tags that match a given tag combination are set to log at that tag combination's level.
If a tag combination does not have a wildcard, then only messages with exactly the same tags are matched.
Otherwise, messages whose tags are a subset of the tag combination are matched.
Specifying "all" instead of a tag combination matches all tag combinations.
If more than one tag combination matches a message's tags, the rightmost one will apply.
Messages with tags that do not have any matching tag combinations are set to log at a default level of WARNING.
This option is case insensitive.
          
Available log levels:
[trace, debug, info, warning, error, off]
          
Available log tags:
[jfr, system, event, setting, bytecode, parser, metadata, dcmd]

MethodFilterStringnull
Pattern for matching methods. The syntax for a pattern is:
          
  SourcePatterns = SourcePattern ["," SourcePatterns] .
  SourcePattern = [ "~" ] [ Class "." ] method [ "(" [ Parameter { ";" Parameter } ] ")" ] .
  Parameter = Class | "int" | "long" | "float" | "double" | "short" | "char" | "boolean" .
  Class = { package "." } class .
          
Glob pattern matching (*, ?) is allowed in all parts of the source pattern.
The "~" prefix negates the pattern.
          
Positive patterns are joined by an "or" operator: "A,B" matches anything
matched by "A" or "B". Negative patterns are joined by "and not": "~A,~B"
matches anything not matched by "A" and not matched by "B". "A,~B,~C,D"
matches anything matched by "A" or "D" and not matched by "B" and not
matched by "C".
          
A set of patterns containing negative patterns but no positive ones contains
an implicit positive "*" pattern: "~A,~B" is equivalent to "*,~A,~B".
          
Examples of method filters:
---------
  *
          
  Matches all methods in all classes.
---------
  canonical(CanonicalizerTool;LogicNode;LogicNode)
          
  Matches all methods named "canonical", with the first parameter of type
  "CanonicalizerTool", and the second and third parameters of type
  "LogicNode".
  The packages of the parameter types are irrelevant.
---------
  arraycopy(Object;;;;)
          
  Matches all methods named "arraycopy", with the first parameter
  of type "Object", and four more parameters of any type. The
  packages of the parameter types are irrelevant.
---------
  org.graalvm.compiler.nodes.PhiNode.*
          
  Matches all methods in the class "org.graalvm.compiler.nodes.PhiNode".
---------
  org.graalvm.compiler.nodes.*.canonical
          
  Matches all methods named "canonical" in classes in the package
  "org.graalvm.compiler.nodes".
---------
  arraycopy,toString
          
  Matches all methods named "arraycopy" or "toString", meaning that ',' acts
  as an "or" operator.
---------
  java.util.*.*.,~java.util.*Array*.*
  java.util.*.*.,~*Array*.*
          
  These patterns are equivalent and match all methods in the package
  "java.util" except for classes that have "Array" in their name.
---------
  ~java.util.*.*
          
  Matches all methods in all classes in all packages except for anything in
  the "java.util" package.

SpectrePHTBarriersStringNone
Select a strategy to mitigate speculative bounds check bypass (aka

This is an experimental option - execution of untrusted code is not supported by GraalVM CE.
The accepted values are:

            AllTargets - Speculative execution on all conditional branch targets is
                         stopped using speculative execution barrier instructions.
          GuardTargets - Branch targets relevant to Java memory safety are instrumented
                         with barrier instructions. This option has less performance impact
                         than AllTargets. 
  NonDeoptGuardTargets - Same as GuardTargets, except that branches which deoptimize are not
                         protected since they can not be executed repeatedly and are thus less
                         likely to be successfully exploited in an attack.
