Running java -Xaot: causes abort

[pshipton]

If you run java -Xaot: it causes an abort. Normally you'd get diagnostic files. If running with -Xdump:none you don't get the OpenJ9 diagnostics, but still get a core file.

java -Xdump:none -Xaot:
JVMJ9VM015W Initialization error for library j9jit29(11): no arguments for -Xaot:
Aborted (core dumped)

This is related to the testCompilerArguments functional test. The test doesn't fail, but does produce a core file, and may timeout.

@hzongaro is the abort intentional?
