> Hi all,
> 
>   can I have reviews for this change that makes G1BiasedMappedArray freeable?
> 
> Previously all G1BiasedMappedArray were created as unfreeable i.e. assigned to static variables. However with JDK-8253600 I need one such biased map for the full collector which is created and deleted during full GC. So the biased array should also be freed as necessary to avoid a memory leak.
> 
> The alternative would be to statically allocate that map anyway and provide it to the current G1FullCollector instance, but I do not think the single malloc call is perf sensitive compared to full collector work and there is much point in doing something more complicated at this time. In the future I hope that the young gen collector will also be extracted from G1CollectedHeap with the same need. If/when allocation of these helper data structures becomes a problem I would suggest looking into this again.
> 
> One option then could be using some ResoureArea for these things in the future.
> 
> For this change there should be no change in behavior at all.
> 
> Testing: tier1-5
> 
> Thanks,
>   Thomas
