Consequently, in a 64-bit JVM the stack slots are bigger for primitive values, and have unused bits in them for everything except pointers. (Allocations on the heap do not include the unused bits, at least in current JVM versions.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
