8010722: assert: failed: heap size is too big for compressed oops Summary: Use conservative assumptions of required alignment for the various garbage collector components into account when determining the maximum heap size that supports compressed oops. Using this conservative value avoids several circular dependencies in the calculation. Reviewed-by: stefank, dholmes

//
// Each SpaceManager maintains a

// chunk is the chunk from which allocations are done.  Space freed in
// a chunk is placed on the free list of blocks (BlockFreelist) and
// reused from there.

// Future modification
//
// The Metachunk can conceivable be replaced by the Chunk in
// allocation.hpp.  Note that the latter Chunk is the space for
// allocation (allocations from the chunk are out of the space in
// the Chunk after the header for the Chunk) where as Metachunks
// point to space in a VirtualSpace.  To replace Metachunks with
// Chunks, change Chunks so that they can be allocated out of a VirtualSpace.
