Request for reviews (M): 6829194: JSR 292 needs to support compressed oops

[Vladimir Kozlov]

"word" is not concrete size in computers :) In x86 it could be 2 bytes (16 bits).
Is it int (4 bytes) or long (8 bytes) in 64 bit VM (LP64)?
I don't understand why its size should depend on UseCompressedOops flag if it is raw.
