Before (mark header size is wrong, overlapping the first field):
java.lang.String object internals:
OFF SZ TYPE DESCRIPTION VALUE
0 8 (object header: mark) 0x0036449200bc8001 (Lilliput)
4 4 int String.hash 3556498
After:
java.lang.String object internals:
OFF SZ TYPE DESCRIPTION VALUE
0 4 (object header: mark) 0x00bc8001 (Lilliput)
4 4 int String.hash 3556498
ModelVM naively uses the address size as the mark header size, but that's not valid for Lilliput V2. Use object header size minus class header size instead (both of these are implemented for Lilliput V2). I'm not certain if this is correct in all scenarios.
**Testing**: spot-checked with Lilliput off, Lilliput V1 and Lilliput V2 for String and a few other classes. Ran `mvn clean verify`.
