+// This is a test for the handling of multi-dimensional Arrays in MetaspaceClosure.
+//
+// We choose FieldAnnotations because they happen to be implemented as a multi-dimension
+// Array (Annotations::_fields_annotations, which is of type Array<Array<unsigned char>*>*,
+// and is handled by the template class PointerArrayRef<T> in metaspaceClosure.hpp).
+//
+// Specifically, we are testing the following C code, where _fields_annotations is non-NULL:
+//
+// void Annotations::metaspace_pointers_do(MetaspaceClosure* it) {
+//   ...
+//   it->push(&_fields_annotations);
+//
+// which will be matched with the function
+//
+// template <typename T> void MetaspaceClosure::push(Array<T*>** mpp, Writability w = _default)
