But as mentioned above, the size of the address can be independent of these. Linux x32 ABI is an ABI for the x86-64 architecture, which uses unique features of 64-bit architectures such as 64-bit registers, but it uses 32-bit addresses. Although OpenJDK does not support such a platform, technically speaking, it is still necessary to distinguish between architecture bits and address bits. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/13357#discussion_r1159438411
