Hello,
As I know Dalvik VM does not support generational GC as default.
But, I found "WITH_OBJECT_HEADERS" compilation flag which could be related with generational GC from HeapInternal.h file.
typedef struct DvmHeapChunk {
#if WITH_OBJECT_HEADERS
u4 header;
const Object *parent;
const Object *parentOld;
const Object *markFinger;
const Object *markFingerOld;
u2 birthGeneration;
u2 markCount;
u2 scanCount;
u2 oldMarkGeneration;
u2 markGeneration;
u2 oldScanGeneration;
u2 scanGeneration;
#endif
Does anyone try to build Dalvik with this option enabled? Do you know anything about generational GC support from Dalvik?
Regards,
Wonil.
