> Is stub allocation the same as other VM C heap exhaustion cases? I think it depends on the particular case. e.g. `Unsafe::allocateMemory` can also throw OOME. I think an allocation failure in the particular case of the FFM Linker allocating stubs, is something that we can reasonably report back to the user. Looking at this again, I realize that we're also allocating a `BufferBlob` when creating the `CodeBuffer`, which is a far bigger allocation, and we never check whether that allocation fails either. I'll have a more thorough look at this. I agree that bubbling up the allocation failures as OOME would be better. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16311#issuecomment-1781077051
