Hi,
The ClassLoaderData::remove_handle() member function currently uses
explicit G1 SATB barriers to remove an oop from the root set, as these
handles are not necessarily walked by the GC in a safepoint. Therefore
G1 needs pre-write barriers.
This should now be modeled as a
RootAccess<IN_CONCURRENT_ROOT>::oop_store instead. This maps to
performing a pre-write SATB barrier with G1, but other GCs are free to
do other things as necessary.
