Compressed Class Pointers

[Julian Waters]

Hi all,

Apologies for the sudden noise in the list, but I've come to notice that
Lilliput seems to be enforcing Compressed Class Pointers if the running
HotSpot VM happens to be 64-bit. (
https://github.com/openjdk/lilliput/blob/9f4a50febc483a342ef09ac0c08f6d742857178d/src/hotspot/share/oops/oop.inline.hpp#L99
)

I'm admittedly a little behind on the work done with Lilliput, so I'm not
entirely sure what the rationale behind this choice is, is there anywhere I
could go to for a little catching up? (Alternatively Compressed Class
Pointers aren't actually being enforced, and I'm mistakenly missing
something else)

best regards,
Julian
