    Description

      The following:
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (int8_t) 16);
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (int16_t) 16);
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (int32_t) 16);
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (int64_t) 16);

       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (uint8_t) 16);
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (uint16_t)16);
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (uint32_t)16);
       align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (uint64_t)16);

      Gives this output:
       0x512345680
       0x512345680
       0x512345680
       0x512345680

       0x512345680
       0x512345680
        0x12345680
       0x512345680

      So, align_size_up_((uintptr_t)0x512345678ULL, (uint32_t)16) returns an unexpected, truncated value.

      This happens because in this macro:
      #define align_size_up_(size, alignment) (((size) + ((alignment) - 1)) & ~((alignment) - 1))

      ~((alignment) - 1) returns 0x00000000FFFFFFF0 instead of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0

      This isn't a problem for the 64-bit types, and maybe more non-obvious is that it doesn't happen for types 8-bit and 16-bit types.

      For the 8-bit and 16-bit types, the (alignment - 1) is promoted to a signed int, when it later is used in the & expression it is signed extended into a signed 64-bit value.

      When the type is an unsigned 32-bit integer, it isn't promoted to a signed int, and therefore it is not singed extended to 64 bits, but instead zero extended to 64 bits.

      This bug is currently not affecting the code base, since the inline align functions promote all integers to intptr_t, before passing them down to the align macros. However, when/if JDK-8178489 is pushed the macro is actually used with 32 bits unsigned ints.
