Module mmtk::policy

Memory policies that can be used for spaces.

Modules

• copy_context
  Copy context defines the thread local copy allocator for copying policies.
• copyspace
• gc_work
  Policy specific GC work
• immix
• immortalspace
• largeobjectspace
• lockfreeimmortalspace
• markcompactspace
• marksweepspace
  Mark sweep space. MMTk provides two implementations of mark sweep:
• sft
• sft_map
• space
  This class defines and manages spaces. Each policy is an instance of a space. A space is a region of virtual memory (contiguous or discontigous) which is subject to the same memory management regime. Multiple spaces (instances of this class or its descendants) may have the same policy (eg there could be numerous instances of CopySpace, each with different roles). Spaces are defined in terms of a unique region of virtual memory, so no two space instances ever share any virtual memory.
• vmspace
