- The usual code to support another GC
Just had a quick look at the SA part. I was thinking you'd have the same
problem as ZGC here, with regards to parsing the heap and potentially
reading garbage when you step on a Klass* which had been unloaded?
Possible. I am myself not very familiar with SA. I guess it depends on
how SA does it: if it iterates objects via CH::object_iterate() (e.g.
same entry point as, e.g., heap-dumping code), then we should be fine.
We're kicking off a traversal rather than straight scan there. If
however SA somehow makes a raw scan itself, then we'd have the problem
you describe.
The SA does a raw scan itself, which is the root of the problem.
ObejctHeap.iterateLiveRegions() will locate the first object in a region
by doing
OopHandle handle = bottom.addOffsetToAsOopHandle(0);
and to get the next object it does
handle.addOffsetToAsOopHandle(obj.getObjectSize());
and you'll crash. So I'm afraid this will not work for Shenandoah either.
cheers,
