> This implements a compressor-style compacting full-GC for the Serial GC, which does not require storing any forwarding pointers in object headers.
>
> For a description of the algorithm, see the text block at the beginning of serialCompressor.hpp.

> Notice that the algorithm uses extra memory: 1/64th of the heap-size is allocated for the marking bitmap and another 1/64th of the heap-size is allocated for the block-offset-table. On the other hand, it does not use storage for preserved-marks table, which is very unpredictable (often it is quite small, but if a workload churns locks or mass-i-hashes objects, it can become pretty large).
>
> Performance:
> I tested performance using the following program, which exxagerates the performance impact of the algorithm. Real-world workloads would be more dominated by the copying.

> The new algorithm can be tested by:

> Average time for full-GCs on by machine:
