    Description

      is_object_aligned only works correctly for sizes measured in words.

      When a pointer is passed into:
      inline bool is_object_aligned(intptr_t addr) {
        return addr == align_object_size(addr);
      }

      inline intptr_t align_object_size(intptr_t size) {
        return align_size_up(size, MinObjAlignment);
      }

      the pointer is incorrectly interpreted as a word size and the alignment is checked against MinObjectAligment instead of MinObjectAlignmentInBytes.

      This was found while working on JDK-8178489.
