+/**
+ * @test TestSmallHeap
+ * @bug 8067438
+ * @requires vm.gc=="null"
+ * @summary Verify that starting the VM with a small heap works
+ * @run main/othervm -Xmx4m -XX:+UseParallelGC TestSmallHeap
+ * @run main/othervm -Xmx4m -XX:+UseSerialGC TestSmallHeap
+ * @run main/othervm -Xmx4m -XX:+UseG1GC TestSmallHeap
+ * @run main/othervm -Xmx4m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSMarkStackSizeMax=1032 TestSmallHeap
+ *
+ * Note: It would be nice to verify the minimal supported heap size here,
+ * but that turns out to be quite tricky since we align the heap size based
+ * on the card table size. And the card table size is aligned based on the
+ * minimal pages size provided by the os. This means that on most platforms,
+ * where the minimal page size is 4k, we get a minimal heap size of 2m but
+ * on Solaris/Sparc we have a page size of 8k and get a minimal heap size
+ * of 8m.
+ * There is also no check in the VM for verifying that the maximum heap size
+ * is larger than the supported minimal heap size. This means that specifying
+ * -Xmx1m on the command line is fine but will give a heap of 2m (or 4m).
+ * To work around these rather strange behaviors this test uses 4m for all
+ * platforms.
