AFAIK, there are no other foreign tests doing this. I think it's a waste of time to write a separate test for this bug. I can't understand why you are against adding one more test config in the foreign test. Yes, it caught the bug in ShenandoahGC but who knows it wouldn't find some other bugs in the foreign api in the future. If you are still against the newly added test config, I can revert the test change. Thanks. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8691
