Yes, that was what I wanted.

I agree about the argument about consistency, so I retract my objection. We can
deal with these macros as a separate RFE (if we ever get to it).
I would like to retain the usage of mmapped memory for ZGC to minimize the risk
of any surprises for us. ZGC code also tend to initialize as much as possible
in the initialization list, so the extra memset that comes after initialization
lists sticks out a bit. Could you create a private
`ZGranuleMap::allocate_array` function that uses
os::reserve_memory/commmit_memory and change the code to be:
inline ZGranuleMap<T>::ZGranuleMap(size_t max_offset) :
_size(max_offset >> ZGranuleSizeShift),
_map(allocate_array(_size)) {
Or if you like, I can provide a patch on top of your branch to do that.
