Avoid hardcoded `-XX:+UseZGC` on BSD system?
Unfortently, OpenJDK does'n support ZGC on BSD system, an attempt to enable it on cofigure fails as:
checking if platform is supported by ZGC... no, bsd-x86_64
checking if JVM feature 'zgc' is available... no
See: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/027607968b3d55b498e9f2d7a4023b8ae2d47b5b/make/autoconf/jvm-features.m4#L318-L327
This mean that attempt to use bloop on any bsd system fails as:
~ $ scala --power bloop output
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Option -XX:+UseZGC not supported
~ $
as temporarry workaround a user may do something like this:
env BLOOP_JAVA_OPTS="-XX:+UseParallelGC" scala --power bloop output
but, I think, that default hardcoded option should be adjusted.
And yes, ShenandoahGC is available on BSD system if you think that low latency GC is requried here.
Thanks for reporting! It should be easy to check the current platform and change the defaults at https://github.com/scalacenter/bloop/blob/7bac89a5a7c5098909a6fc489fe099766a2dd00d/bloop-rifle/src/main/scala/bloop/rifle/BloopRifleConfig.scala#L75
I might not have time to fix it soon though.
