In this case, you'll need to change [`free()`](https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/blob/2dd7a35d2eec16b04de1f4cb7aeba31be5d98a55/modules/javafx.graphics/src/main/java/com/sun/marlin/OffHeapArray.java#L126) to remove the closure of the arena, but I think that then you'll have to manually clear the memory segments it allocates. This requires non-trivial modifications with `MarlinUtils`'s cleaner. When @bourgesl and I discussed these changes, we were unsure what the correct arena for this situation is. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1814#issuecomment-2962763793
