It is expected from `createLimitedTestJavaProcessBuilder` to execute the process exactly as specified in the test, without any additional changes from jtreg. It is very likely that the test might fail if the process is executed in other modes. I agree that usage of this method is always a potential loss of coverage for vm flags being tested and for virtual threads. So this method should be used only when it is necessary. As well as we should minimize the number of flagless testing. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16442#issuecomment-1813899682
