Garbage Collection - Plan Phase
Konrad Kokosa · Apress eBooks · 2018
After the mark phase, all objects have been identified as reachable or not. Those reachable are being marked by a dedicated bit. Some of the marked objects may be additionally marked as pinned by another bit. At this moment Garbage Collector has all necessary information to start its job. But the question arises - should it proceed with Sweep or Compact collection? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
