I don't think much more is said since in fact it would affect parts of the implementations of lots of operations -- anything touching Tungsten. It wouldn't be meaningful to try to list everything.
The difference is allocating memory on the heap or with sun.misc.Unsafe. This is definitely something you'd need to be a developer to know whether to use, and if you're a developer and curious, you can just grep the code for this flag, and/or read into what Tungsten does. Personally, I would leave this off. On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 6:10 PM, Ovidiu-Cristian MARCU <ovidiu-cristian.ma...@inria.fr> wrote: > I found nothing about the certain operations.
