  40  * It is implemented in four phases:
  41  *
  42  * 1. Mark all live objects of the heap by traversing objects starting at GC roots.
  43  * 2. Calculate the new location of each live object. This is done by sequentially scanning
  44  *    the heap, keeping track of a next-location-pointer, which is then written to each
  45  *    object's fwdptr field.
  46  * 3. Update all references. This is implemented by another scan of the heap, and updates
  47  *    all references in live objects by what's stored in the target object's fwdptr.
  48  * 4. Compact the heap by copying all live objects to their new location.
  49  *
  50  * Parallelization is handled by assigning each GC worker the slice of the heap (the set of regions)
  51  * where it does sliding compaction, without interfering with other threads.
