Right, but even a single instruction placed on every backward branch and at the epilogue of every method causes noticeable impact on the performance. This is especially important i…

It would be very interesting to run our sample with Timers on this GC. In that paper I found a link to their implementation, but unfortunately it is unavailable.

Yes, I wrote this article. No, I haven't read those papers before, but after your comment I took a look at one of them.. and it is very interesting! Thanks for mentioning it. But, …

You are right, such things as value types or inline arrays are not introduced in Java language (yet), but still JVM can allocate objects including arrays on the stack if this objec…

Yes, an excellent point. Unfortunately, we do not have such specific benchmarks at the moment (only general benchmarks on the performance of GC), but I guess we should add them. Ho…

Yeah, we've tried that. It was one of the attempts of improving conservative GC (no dead values on the stack => no false roots). Unfortunately, it causes noticeable performance deg…

Absolutely agree with you about finalizers! However, please note that this "threadReaper" code is from JDK class, so, the problem can appear on every application that just use Time…

The problem is that it all depends on the liveness of the variables. The same value on the stack can be a root at the begining of the method as the corresponding variable is still …
