- * 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.

+ * we get a minimal heap size of 32m. We never use large pages for the card table.
+ *
  * 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.
+ * -Xmx1m on the command line is fine but will give a heap of 2m (or 4m or 32m).
+ *
+ * To work around these rather strange behaviors this test uses -Xmx2m but then
+ * calculates what the expected heap size should be. The calculation is a
+ * simplified version of the code in the VM. We assume that the card table will
+ * use one page. Each byte in the card table corresponds to 512 bytes on the heap.
+ * So, the expected heap size is page_size * 512.
