Keeping oops

[Peter Helfer]

Sorry folks... bad key combo

I'm having a hashtable, which should keep two oops 'grouped' together. This
should keep those oops or handles or whatever accross a Safept / GC. Either:

a) I need to create a HandleMark, somewhere really low in the stack - say in
the constructor of a thread or one of its first functions, and have
something like hashtable<handle, handle>

b) Keep pointers to oops (oop*) allocated, and pass them to the GC when it
comes by, like  hashtable<oop*, oop*>::oops_do(OopClosure* f) ? As long as
the oop* still points to that particular oop, it is not moved by GC, right ?

Which one of those is feasible / recommended ?

Regards & sorry again
Peter
