Hi all,
Can I have a couple of quick reviews for this small change:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~brutisso/7131791/webrev.02
This should hopefully fix the 500+ failures in the G1 nightlies. So, I
would like to get it in before the nightlies tonight.
The issue is that we call collect() which will trigger a collection
without protecting the memory that we just allocated for a humongous
object. The fix (thanks Tony for helping me out!!!) is to fake an object
and create a handle to it before we call collect.
Bengt
