On a second thought, passing derived pointers as arguments doesn't mix well with safepoint awareness. (And this stub eventually has to become safepoint aware.) Deriving a pointer inside the stub from a base oop and offset is trivial, recovering base oop from derived pointer is hard. It doesn't mean we have to address it right now. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/10582
