>From the problem description, I would suggest to look at Epsilon to understand where it is hooked
into runtime interface in allocation paths, and then this post [1] that builds the trivial
mark-compact over it. I think it would then be evident how marking is done, and how objects are
iterated with shared code [2]. After that, understanding other collectors would hopefully be simpler.
