rev 2691 : [mq]: g1-reference-processing


  31 // ReferenceProcessor class encapsulates the per-"collector" processing
  32 // of java.lang.Reference objects for GC. The interface is useful for supporting
  33 // a generational abstraction, in particular when there are multiple
  34 // generations that are being independently collected -- possibly
  35 // concurrently and/or incrementally.  Note, however, that the
  36 // ReferenceProcessor class abstracts away from a generational setting
  37 // by using only a heap interval (called "span" below), thus allowing
  38 // its use in a straightforward manner in a general, non-generational
  39 // setting.
  40 //
  41 // The basic idea is that each ReferenceProcessor object concerns
  42 // itself with ("weak") reference processing in a specific "span"
  43 // of the heap of interest to a specific collector. Currently,
  44 // the span is a convex interval of the heap, but, efficiency
  45 // apart, there seems to be no reason it couldn't be extended
  46 // (with appropriate modifications) to any "non-convex interval".
