There's a small bug tail from JDK-8186958, which added a few methods to create
pre-sized HashMap and related instances.
* JDK-8285386 WhiteBoxResizeTest.java fails in tier7 after JDK-8186958
Some of our test configurations failed with OOME. Since they're internal systems,
I've handled this myself.
* JDK-8285405 add test and check for negative argument to HashMap::newHashMap
et al
Some internal discussions revealed this issue; the robustness of the system under
maintenance could be improved by adding an explicit argument check to these methods
and tests for these cases. (Probably -1 and Integer.MIN_VALUE would be sufficient.)
I'd like a volunteer to handle this. Since Xeno Amess authored the original feature,
I nominate Xeno to do this work. :-)
Please let us know if you can pick up this work. Thanks.
