- * Early os::malloc() calls come from initializations of static variables, long before entering any
- * VM code. Upon the arrival of the first os::malloc() call, malloc site hashtable has to be
- * initialized, along with the allocation site for the hashtable entries.
- * To ensure that malloc site hashtable can be initialized without triggering any additional os::malloc()
- * call, the hashtable bucket array and hashtable entry allocation site have to be static.
- * It is not a problem for hashtable bucket, since it is an array of pointer type, C runtime just
- * allocates a block memory and zero the memory for it.
- * But for hashtable entry allocation site object, things get tricky. C runtime not only allocates
- * memory for it, but also calls its constructor at some later time. If we initialize the allocation site
- * at the first os::malloc() call, the object will be reinitialized when its constructor is called
- * by C runtime.
- * To workaround above issue, we declare a static size_t array with the size of the CallsiteHashtableEntry,
- * the memory is used to instantiate CallsiteHashtableEntry for the hashtable entry allocation site.
- * Given it is a primitive type array, C runtime will do nothing other than assign the memory block for the variable,
- * which is exactly what we want.
- * The same trick is also applied to create NativeCallStack object for CallsiteHashtableEntry memory allocation.
- *
- * Note: C++ object usually aligns to particular alignment, depends on compiler implementation, we declare
- * the memory as size_t arrays, to ensure the memory is aligned to native machine word alignment.
