Hi, folks, to follow up the GCv5 proposal, I submitted the early files
of a copying collector for GCv5. The idea is to develop GCv5 openly in
Harmony, so that we can develop it togother. Any comments or
improvements are welcome. The JIRA issue I created is HARMONY-1428 as
the message below. It has no document associated, since it's too early
and unstable for serious document efforts; but I think it is simple
and concise enough for any people who are interested in GC
development.
Thanks,
xiaofeng

[DRLVM] first batch of files for GCv5, a trace-forward copying collector
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HARMONY-1428
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1428
Project: Harmony
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: DRLVM
Environment: These files were only tested on Windows with VS.NET 2003.
Reporter: Xiao-Feng Li
This archive has a couple of files implementing an early version of a
trace-forward copying collector for GCv5. It's only a starter with
very basic functionalities. It is a generational GC reqiures write
barrier implemented in JIT. It was tested with JET, and ran
SPECJBB2000 and SPECJVM98.
The algorithm is depth-first tracing of From-space, and forwarding
live objects to To-space (It can forward part of the From-space). The
To-space has no real management except for the accomodation of
forwarded objects and large objects. So the To-space is going to be
replaced by a mark-compaction GC, and the large objects will be
managed by a LOS GC.
In order to minimize the changes to other components of DRLVM, the
codes here comply with the original contract between GCv4 and other
components. I also borrowed some routine code from GCv4 to avoid
repetitive labor work.
GCv5 is under active development, so please expect quick and big
changes to this submitted code base. I will submit new codes from time
to time when they are worth a submission. Any comments or codes are
more than welcome.
