All, Changes were committed to drlvm/trunk/vm/MMTk that allow MMTk configuration known as NoGC to partially run in a mode somewhat analogous to "user mode Linux". The NoGC configuration allows legitimate Java objects to be created but provides zero collection capability. The part that now runs is NoGC.alloc(). The next step is to get NoGC.postAlloc() to work. postAlloc() actually fixes up the object's header.
Once NoGC is running fully in user mode, the next steps are to get the MMTk collectors called marksweep, markcompact and generational fully functional. This will finally require the write barriers that we have been working on for a while. I'd really like to make all this happen by end of August. It really depends on how much time needs to be spent on GCV5. Once the above is working, I will address the "user mode". That is, call MMTk directly from DRLVM during bootup instead of calling MMTk as a garden variety java application. -- Weldon Washburn Intel Middleware Products Division --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
