Documentation

Definition

Global (shared) objects are cleaned up by the shared garbage collector (SGC). The SGC becomes active when sufficent rubbish has accumulated or if global memory is in short supply. In contrast to the normal garbage collector all VMs must usually take part in the shared garbage collection (SGC).

A particpating VM can have one of the following states:

• Neutral: VM is not participating in the SGC
• Should contribute: VM should contribute to the SGC some time or other
• Must contribute: VM must contribute to the SGC as soon as possible
• Contributing: VM is executing the SGC right now
• Has Contributed: VM has contributed to the SGC
