>
> We'd like to introduce a default memory limit for compilations in debug builds. That way, we can catch pathological compiler errors that have an unreasonably high per-compilation memory footprint early during testing.
>
> The default limit affects all compilations, unless the method is subject to a memory limit set from command line. Meaning, `-XX:CompileCommand=MemLimit,...` overrules the default.
>
> Examples:
>
> This lowers the memlimit for j.l.String methods - all methods will have the default 1GB limit in a debug JVM. Only j.l.String will run with a 100M limit: `-XX:CompileCommand=MemLimit,java.lang.String::*,100m`
>
> This disables the default memlimit globally: `-XX:CompileCommand=MemLimit,*.*,0`
>
>
> ---
>
> The patch:
>
> 1) adds a debug-only default memory limit of **1GB** (as proposed by @vnkozlov). The limit action is "crash", meaning we will assert.
> 2) To test the mechanics, we now print out the memory limit for each compilation in the compilation cost record.
> 3) Adapted and extended tests
>
> I also fixed up some copyrights that I overlooked last year when adding the compiler memory statistics this patch builds atop of.
>
>
> Tested:
>
> - manually on Mac m1 (debug and release)
> - GHAs are running
> - but Oracle will do more testing before this goes in
