Hi,
thanks for taking this over.

g1CollectorPolicy.cpp:1754: superfluous whitespace after "assert(".
heapRegion.cpp: in HeapRegion::hr_clear(), is there a reason to remove
the assert that checks whether the region is in the collection set or
not? I think it could be rewritten the new method easily. (I.e. using
the in_collection_set() method in HeapRegion)
I think this change could remove the "_fast_test" suffix of the various
methods because now there is only this location where collection set
inclusion is tracked. It's just confusing to keep this imo.
(and possibly extend "cset" to "collection_set" - this has iirc been
done because of the lengthy "fast_set" suffix).
It would be possible to separate that renaming step if you want, but I
somehow tend to that that should be part of this change.
Thanks,
Thomas
