<td valign="top">All versions (Linux&reg;)</td>
<td valign="top">The maximum amount of memory that all the AOT cache instances combined can use at the server is 300 MB, by default. You can change this value by using the <tt>-XX:JITServerAOTmx=&ltsize&gt</tt> option. When the cache size reaches the specified limit, new clients cannot create new AOT cache instances or add new compiled methods to the existing AOT cache instances.</td>

<td valign="top">The default stack size is modified for the main thread</td>
<td valign="top">All</td>
<td valign="top">The main thread stack size was 1 MB in releases prior to 0.32. In the 0.32 release and later it's modified to a smaller
platform-dependent value, the same value as the <tt>-Xmso</tt> setting. The 0.33 release increases the default <tt>-Xmso</tt> stack size
on x64 platforms, but builds with OpenJDK 17 and later also require more stack space to run. These changes might result in a
<tt>java.lang.StackOverflowError: operating system stack overflow</tt>.</td>
<td valign="top">Use <tt>-Xmso</tt> to set the default stack size. See the default value by using <tt>-verbose:sizes</tt>.</td>

<td valign="top">All platforms</td>

<td valign="top">Avoid using the <tt>-XX:+ShowHiddenFrames</tt> option with OpenJDK 18 and later.</td>
