Hi Michail,

Sorry for the unclear comment.

I meant adding the explanation near "private static final long 
PS_VIRTUAL_SPACE_ALIGNMENT = WB.psVirtualSpaceAlignment();" in 
TestNewSizeFlags.java. Because someone would be strange as we are 
calling it without checking GC type. But you explained that there's no 
harm with that code.

And I agree that adding something in whitebox.cpp is not necessary. Even 
the new exception. :)

Thanks,
Sangheon
