Method Detail

tearDown

public final void tearDown()

Return all allocated virtual memory chunks to HeapChunkProvider.

walkObjects

public boolean walkObjects(ObjectVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: Generation

Walk the Objects in this Space, passing each to a Visitor.

Specified by:

walkObjects in class Generation

Parameters:

visitor - An ObjectVisitor.

Returns:

True if all visits returned true, false otherwise.

report

public Log report(Log log,
                  boolean traceHeapChunks)

Description copied from class: Generation

Report some statistics about the Generation to a Log.

Specified by:

report in class Generation

getSpace

public final Space getSpace()

Space access method. This method is final because it is called (transitively) from the allocation snippets.

promoteObject

protected Object promoteObject(Object original)

Description copied from class: Generation

Promote an Object to this Generation, either by HeapChunk motion or copying. If the original is copied, a forwarding pointer to the new Object is left in place of the original Object. This turns an Object from white to grey: the object is in this Generation, but has not yet had its interior pointers visited.

Specified by:

promoteObject in class Generation

Parameters:

original - The original Object to be promoted.

Returns:

The promoted Object, either the original if promotion was done by HeapChunk motion, or a new Object if promotion was done by copying.

isValidSpace

protected boolean isValidSpace(Space thatSpace)

Description copied from class: Generation

Returns true if the space is a valid Space in this generation, else false.

Specified by:

isValidSpace in class Generation

verify

protected boolean verify(HeapVerifier.Occasion occasion)

Specified by:

verify in class Generation
