Hi,

about the type of garbage collection,

I have two questions,

1. Full non-compacting collection
    I have no idea about the free memory gets added to free lists.
    Why V8 does this and what's this for?

2. I can see that Scavenge occurs all the time. But when do full 
non-compacting collection and full compacting collection happen?
    How V8 choose these two different types of gc?

Full compacting collection is able to get rid of fragmentation which means 
we need to copy a lot of objects.

This is what I heard from google i/o, however, i dont know why he mentioned 
about "copy". I thought that those objects should be "moved" instead of 
copy.



Thanks
