Abstract:
A hybrid hybrid garbage collection methodology may be used to perform garbage collection in a manner that consolidates live objects from an evacuation region of memory into a consolidation region of memory, while also reclaiming reclaimable objects from the consolidation region, such that upon completion of a garbage collection pass, reclaimable objects from both the evacuation and consolidation regions are reclaimed while live objects from both the evacuation and consolidation regions are consolidated in the consolidation region.
