Note that, since this is just a change on a Java API, I don't think should affect the VM? Then of course if someone runs java in an environment with LD_PRELOAD where jemalloc is used instead of malloc, and _all_ allocation (even ones from native code) aligns differently, I can't speak on how that would impact the JVM. But this change, alone, should not impact the VM in any way? ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28235#issuecomment-3533130463
