Hi all,
please review this improvement to `G1CollectedHeap::is_obj_dead()` where references into free regions were inadvertedly considered as live. This makes verification not fail with a proper error message when encountering references to objects in free regions (it may still fail for other reasons).
The alternative would have been fixing this in verification code only, but that method does not seem that hot, and the additional code not too slow either, but feel free to tell me otherwise and have me move the check.
This has been verified by @christianhaeubl who reported the issue.
Testing: gha
Thanks,
Thomas
