RFR 8203174: [Graal] JDI tests fail with Unexpected exception: com.sun.jdi.ObjectCollectedException

[serguei.spitsyn at oracle.com]

Hi Daniil,

It looks good - great analysis.
Thank you for taking care about these failures!

I guess, the tests could fail not only with the Graal.
Hopefully, they became more stable now.

Thanks,
Serguei

The other problem is that the tests could not strictly distinguish the objects created by the debuggee on the request from the test from the objects of the same class created by the debuggee VM on its own.  In case when java.lang.String or arrays of primitives are used in the tests the number of objects the test operates could significantly exceeds the number of the objects the test actually created and iterating over all of them results in the timeout.

In some cases, the fix ensures that only the main thread of the debuggee is running to prevent the garbage collector thread to create objects of the same class the test is working with and avoid timeouts.
