ObjectVector

[Chen Liang]

Hi Remi, where do you plan to use such a vector? Reading from an array of references?

Regards, Chen

Hello,
in java, unlike in C, references are opaque so a lot of operations on the value of the reference are not allowed,
but some still exist like checking if the value is null or not.

Is there a way to create an ObjectVector that would only implement those simple operations ?

Or is it a stupid idea given that both ZGC and shenandoah use read-barrier ?

regards,
Rémi
