Stefan, Thank you for reviewing the GC code (and your help).

The reason I did this is because i didn't want to copy the same loop for 
oops_do() and unlink(), so it's not the same as StringTable. is_alive 
closure is null for the oops_do case.  I'll decouple and just have 
unlink and oops_do, and if we decide to clear these during copy GC, it 
can be easily changed to unlink_or_oops_do().

I can't.  is_alive is null when called for oops_do.

Okay, yes, now I see it.  I added the resolved_method cleaning task to 
after string_symbol_task.

I missed that in the renaming.  Thank you for catching it.

I need gcLocker.hpp because NoSafepointVerifier is declared there, but 
removed the others unnecessary #include.

Webrev with changes tested with my test case (more testing in progress):
