Xiao-Feng, Jitrino won't work with uncompressed references today, but uncompressed references support was taken into account in HLO and GC optimizations design. So I see no problems to support uncompressed references in JIT.

Hi, current 64bit support uses compressed reference pointer by default, i.e., a 64bit reference is stored as a 32bit value plus a (global) base address. This can reduce the footprint of working set and at the same time improve cache locality. But this has max heap size limitation. I wonder why not use non-compressed pointer as by default, and the compressed pointer is only an optimization that can be applied when desirable. Comments? Thanks, xiaofeng
