Hi Roman, Erik,

Erik recently pointed out that JvmtiTagHashmapEntry::equals() is lacking on obj-equals-barrier, and that JvmtiTagHashmap::hash() better does ::resolve() the object to a stable value before casting it to a raw address.

Can the resolve be incorporated into the cast_from_oop? It's just not obvious to me how one realizes when the resolve is necessary. ??

This lead us to do some more JVMTI testing and we found that we have a little inconsistency with reporting object size too: the VMObjectAlloc callback now reports a different size that GetObjectSize(). This is also fixed by this proposed change:

So when is it valid to use obj->size() and when not?

Thanks, David
