spurious reportings of System.gc()???

[Kirk Pepperdine]

Hi all,

I’ve been puzzling over this….

0.925: [GC (System.gc())
Desired Survivor size 11010048 bytes, new threshold 7 (max 15)
 [PSYoungGen: 19838->4025K(76800K)] 19838K->4097K(251392K), 0.0047450 secs] [Times: user=0.02 sys=0.00, real=0.00 secs]

Aside from 3 cases of Allocation Failure, System.gc() is the only cause that is ever printed for every other GC record. Am I to assume this is a bug as my understanding is that this cause is only suppose to be printed when the application or RMI triggers a collection.

Regards,
Kirk

PS apologies for not providing JVM version, I’m not sure what it is at the moment but I’m assuming 7 but it might be from a preview version of 8.
