Good job, Senaka. The general perception was that internal and external GC interfaces were mixed, which maked this document less usable for harmony-gc-5 project than it could be. For example, sweeping, marking and reclaiming are internal interfaces while allocation, stack enumeration (please take a look at vm_enumerate_root_set_all_threads) and gc invocation are external interfaces. We should pay more attention to external interfaces for harmony-gc-5 project.
Thanks.
