如何确定g1gc自动生成的区域大小？

Question

Documentation says that:

Upon startup, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) sets the region size

How could I determine what size was chosen for g1gc regions at the startup? How to get notification when it is changed during runtime?

I had tried to log gc info with -XX:+PrintGCDetails but it contains no information about region size.

Answer 1

The region size information can be printed with the -XX:G1PrintRegionLivenessInfo flag which must be used in conjunction with the -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions flag (well, at least used to, not sure about the latest JVMs).
