Hi all,
Could I have reviews for this tiny change to avoid zero division?
'uintx' type flag 'MarkSweepAlwaysCompactCount' is used to set 'uint'
type local variable and this would result in an overflow for big
numbers(>max_juint).
As a solution, this local variable should be changed to 'uintx'.
I didn't add a new test as JDK-8144578 enables to check this problem.
CR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145192
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sangheki/8145192/webrev.00
Testing: JPRT, manual test[1]
[1]: Call System.gc() with VM option of '-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:-UseParallelOldGC -XX:MarkSweepAlwaysCompactCount=4294967296'
(=max_juint + 1).
Thanks,
Sangheon
