Hi in the new year!<br>
<br>
I got off line comment from Igor I. that Xmx is not needed here at
all. <br>
And I agree with Igor. <br>
GCBasher test was written many years ago, probably in those times
when default maximum heap size was 64MB.<br>
So, specifying Xmx was necessary to increase heap to allocate such a
big structure.<br>
Nowadays, it's hard to find a host where maximum heap size set by
the ergonomics will be less than 256MB. <br>
GCBasher doesn't try to allocate all available memory, it just
allocates a big structure several time. <br>
So, I think -Xmx option could be removed from this test:<br>

Tested by RBT with and without -XX:-UseCompressedOpps<br>

<pre>Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a couple of review for a simple change in test: -Xmx128m
-> -Xmx256m
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfazunen/8169643/webrev.00/">http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfazunen/8169643/webrev.00/</a>

The GCBasher test fails with OOM if run with -XX:-UseCompressedOpps.
The root cause is 128Mb is not enough to locate a big structure if Opps
are not compressed.
Giving more memory fixes the problem (TestGCBasherWithParallel.java
specifies 256m and doesn't fail)
Thanks,
Dima
