public class MCConstraints
extends StopTheWorldConstraints

This class and its subclasses communicate to the host VM/Runtime any features of the selected plan that it needs to know. This is separate from the main Plan/PlanLocal class in order to bypass any issues with ordering of static initialization.

MCConstraints

public MCConstraints()
Method Detail

movesObjects

public boolean movesObjects()
Overrides:
movesObjects in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
true if this Plan moves objects.

needsForwardAfterLiveness

public boolean needsForwardAfterLiveness()
Overrides:
needsForwardAfterLiveness in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
true if this object forwards objects after determining global object liveness (e.g. many compacting collectors).

needsLinearScan

public boolean needsLinearScan()
Overrides:
needsLinearScan in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
true if this Plan requires linear scanning.

maxNonLOSDefaultAllocBytes

public int maxNonLOSDefaultAllocBytes()
Overrides:
maxNonLOSDefaultAllocBytes in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
Size (in bytes) beyond which new regular objects must be allocated to the LOS

gcHeaderBits

public int gcHeaderBits()
Specified by:
gcHeaderBits in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
The number of header bits that are required.

gcHeaderWords

public int gcHeaderWords()
Specified by:
gcHeaderWords in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
The number of header words that are required.

numSpecializedScans

public int numSpecializedScans()
Overrides:
numSpecializedScans in class PlanConstraints
Returns:
The specialized scan methods required
