Class TraceInterface

java.lang.Object
  org.mmtk.vm.TraceInterface

Direct Known Subclasses:

TraceInterface

public abstract class TraceInterface
extends Object

Class that supports scanning Objects or Arrays for references during tracing, handling those references, and computing death times

TraceInterface

public TraceInterface()

gcEnabled

public abstract boolean gcEnabled()

Returns true if the VM is ready for a garbage collection.

Returns:

true if the VM is ready for GC, false otherwise.

adjustSlotOffset

public abstract Offset adjustSlotOffset(boolean isScalar,
                                        ObjectReference src,
                                        Address slot)

This adjusts the offset into an object to reflect what it would look like if the fields were laid out in memory space immediately after the object pointer.

Parameters:

isScalar - If this is a pointer store to a scalar object

src - The address of the source object

slot - The address within src into which the update will be stored

Returns:

The easy to understand offset of the slot

skipOwnFramesAndDump

public abstract Address skipOwnFramesAndDump(ObjectReference typeRef)

This skips over the frames added by the tracing algorithm, outputs information identifying the method the containts the "new" call triggering the allocation, and returns the address of the first non-trace, non-alloc stack frame.

Parameters:

typeRef - The type reference (tib) of the object just allocated

Returns:

The frame pointer address for the method that allocated the object

updateDeathTime

public abstract void updateDeathTime(ObjectReference obj)

Update an object's death time.

Parameters:

obj - the object

                                  Word time_)

setLink

                             ObjectReference link)

getOID

public abstract Word getOID()

setOID

public abstract void setOID(Word oid)

getHeaderSize

public abstract int getHeaderSize()

getHeaderEndOffset

public abstract int getHeaderEndOffset()
