I'm not sure it affects hotspot but should we care about it?
I'm not sure that we need it as much as C programs do. By and large we don't allocate variable-sized objects on the stack, and of course there is no way for a Java programmer to do such a thing, so this protects against a risk that we don't have. I suppose this might protect our users if we have a bug in the runtime code or in scalar replacement.
Andrew.
