Constructor Detail

CopyMSTraceLocal

public CopyMSTraceLocal(Trace trace)

Parameters:

trace - the global trace class to use

Method Detail

isLive

public boolean isLive(ObjectReference object)

Is the specified object reachable?

Overrides:

isLive in class TraceLocal

Parameters:

object - The object.

Returns:

true if the object is live.

traceObject

public ObjectReference traceObject(ObjectReference object)

This method is the core method during the trace of the object graph. The role of this method is to:

1. Ensure the traced object is not collected.
2. If this is the first visit to the object enqueue it to be scanned.
3. Return the forwarded reference to the object.

In this instance, we refer objects in the mark-sweep space to the msSpace for tracing, and defer to the superclass for all others.

Overrides:

traceObject in class TraceLocal

Parameters:

object - The object to be traced.

Returns:

The new reference to the same object instance.

willNotMoveInCurrentCollection

public boolean willNotMoveInCurrentCollection(ObjectReference object)

Will this object move from this point on, during the current collection ?

Overrides:

willNotMoveInCurrentCollection in class TraceLocal

Parameters:

object - The object to query.

Returns:

true If the object will not move during collection
