During the effort to extent archive size beyond 2GB, with offset shift (see JDK-8376125), there was a report from [~abakhtin]:
---------
I've tried the suggested code with an archive size more than 4Gb, but it fails with an assertion:
# Internal Error (aotMetaspace.cpp:1955), pid=96332, tid=4099
# guarantee(archive_space_size < max_encoding_range_size - class_space_alignment) failed: Archive too large
