Thomas.

Thanks for looking at it. See inline...

- In PSPromotionManager::initialize(), please extract the 
"ParallelGCThreads + 1" calculation into a local variable. 


Done.




- nitpick: the comment in PSPromotionManager::post_scavenge(), since it is a proper sentence, start with upper case and end with full stop. 


Done.




- in PreservedMarksSet::restore(), I would prefer if the total_size 
were calculated as the marks are restored. I do not see a particular 
reason why you would need to calculate this beforehand, and it is an 
extra loop over a potentially large number of threads. 


I can accumulate the size incrementally, so the output should be done at the end of the method then?




Like PreservedMarks::get() returned the number of preserved marks, and 
the method just added them together. 

- I personally dislike the use of "counter-variable += 1" in the 
increment section of for-loops, and prefer using a post-decrement. Feel 
free to ignore this comment. 


I’ve always done it this way, ++i / i++ as a statement just looks weird...

- I would remove the "ergo" tag, and try to make the message more 
meaningful, as the "gc" tag is the catch-all bucket. E.g. something 
like "Restoring... marks after evacuation failure.". 


Done. I’ll post a new webrev shortly…

Tony




Otherwise it looks good to me. I will run it through jprt and some test 
list. 

Thanks, 
Thomas
