Description
Native nested loops are commonly used on OS X to make sync calls from Appkit to EDT. However it's a dangerous feature because it can lead to crashes like in JDK-8032864, because native resources could be deallocated while the nested loop is running. We should enhance nested event loops to hold deallocation of native resources until the loops is finished.
