Hi everyone,
Could I have a couple of reviews for this change?
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~brutisso/8034079/webrev.00/
It tries to simplify the structure of the HeapRegionSets. I need this to
be able to introduce new types of heap region collections.
Some other cleanups are done as a consequence of this. But there are
probably still more cleanups to do. I hope that this is a step in the
right direction.
Here's a short list of some of the changes:
- Class hierarchy simplified
No longer specific subclasses for all instances. Verification code has
been collected in the super classes and the MT safety checks are
aggregated instead.
- Proxy sets replaced by HeapRegionSetCount
The use of "proxy sets" was removed in favor of a light weight class to
keep track of length and capacity.
- G1CollectedHeap::free_region_if_empty() was inlined
- G1CollectedHeap::update_sets_after_freeing_regions() was split up into
three (or actually four) methods.
- Removed the HRSPhaseSetter, which may soften the verification a bit
but not much.
- The verification code also prints less information in some cases. But
instead it prints the relevant information. There is still more cleanup
that can be done to the messages from the asserts and verifications.
- Moved usage accounting up to avoid having to pass it around as much.
- HeapRegionSetBase::total_used_bytes() was only used in asserts. Did
not seem worth keeping around.
After these changes the file heapRegionSets.hpp (notice the s at the end
of the name) was empty so I removed it. However, the heapRegionSets.cpp
file is still present. I would like to move all the code there in to
heapRegionSet.cpp, but that would make the webrev more difficult to
follow. I'm still open to doing that if someone would like me to do it.
Thanks,
Bengt
