对于大对象Minor GC的疑问

Question

一个很简单的GC测试，但是没有打印出预期的效果。
JDK1.8.0_131,JVM参数如下:

-Xmx50m -Xms50m -Xmn8m -XX:SurvivorRatio=2 -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGC

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object[] list = new Object[10];
        for(int i=0; i<10 ; i++) {
            System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>" + i);
            list[i] = new byte[3*1024*1024];
        }
    }

console打印如下:

>>>>>>>>>>0
>>>>>>>>>>1
>>>>>>>>>>2
>>>>>>>>>>3
>>>>>>>>>>4
>>>>>>>>>>5
>>>>>>>>>>6
>>>>>>>>>>7
>>>>>>>>>>8
>>>>>>>>>>9

虽然最终看到对象进入了老年代，但是Minor GC的过程都没有打印出来，如果将new byte[3*1024*1024] 改为 new byte[1*1024*1024]，即如下如所示:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object[] list = new Object[10];
        for(int i=0; i<10 ; i++) {
            System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>" + i);
            list[i] = new byte[1*1024*1024];
        }
    }

console打印如下:

可以看到有清楚的Minor GC的过程，这是为什么呢？是JVM对这种大对象做了优化以至于直接分配至老年代了吗？

Answer 1

深入理解JVM里面不是有嘛，大对象直接进入老年代
