This test fails with a JVM crash: import jdk.incubator.foreign.MemoryAccess; import jdk.incubator.foreign.MemorySegment; import jdk.incubator.foreign.ResourceScope; class SIGSEGV { public static void main(String[] args) { MemorySegment memorySegment = MemorySegment.allocateNative(2147479552, ResourceScope.globalScope()); MemoryAccess.getLongAtOffset(memorySegment, 8223372036854705800L); } } However, when executed with "-Djdk.incubator.foreign.SmallSegments=false", same tests fails with IndexOutOfBoundsException, as expected.
