> This RFE is a prerequisite for [JDK-8296344: Remove dependency on G1 for writing the CDS archive heap](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8296344). 
> 
> The main change of this RFE is in `HeapShared::archive_reachable_objects_from()`. We avoid the use of "archived objects" in the interface between CDS and the module system, and use integer "root indices" instead. (See note [1] in [JDK-8298600](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298600).)
> 
> Also, for better encapsulation, the module-specific code has been moved from `HeapShared::check_module_oop()` to the three new functions in modules.cpp.
> 
> ----
> 
> Besides the refactoring, this RFE also tightens up the code that deals with `java.lang.Module` oops and the corresponding C++ `ModuleEntry` objects.
> 
> As this is admittedly an obscured area of the CDS archive heap, I've added the following:
> 
> - Assertions to make sure that when an oop is archived, the corresponding C++ object is also archived, and vice-versa.
> - More comments
