JDK-8275320 enhanced NMT malloc header, provided ability to identify if a pointer points to a malloc'd memory. Further, JDK-8277822 enabled NMT for debug builds.
This is a good opportunity to integrate NMT to debug pp() command to provide useful information collected by NMT.
For example:
NMT=summary
(gdb) call pp(0x7f2d9803db70)
"Executing pp"
0x00007f2d9803db70 malloc'd 1576 bytes by Internal
(gdb) call pp(0x00007f4300a20000)
"Executing pp"
0x00007f4300a20000 in mmap'd memory region [0x00007f4300a20000 - 0x00007f4310000000] by GC
NMT=detail
(gdb) call pp(0x7f2d9803db70)
"Executing pp"
0x00007f2d9803db70 malloc'd 1576 bytes by Internal

"Executing pp"
