29 // String Deduplication
30 //
31 // String deduplication aims to reduce the heap live-set by deduplicating identical
32 // instances of String so that they share the same backing character array.
33 //
34 // The deduplication process is divided in two main parts, 1) finding the objects to
35 // deduplicate, and 2) deduplicating those objects. The first part is done as part of
36 // a normal GC cycle when objects are marked or evacuated. At this time a check is
37 // applied on each object to check if it is a candidate for deduplication. If so, the
38 // object is placed on the deduplication queue for later processing. The second part,
39 // processing the objects on the deduplication queue, is a concurrent phase which
40 // starts right after the stop-the-wold marking/evacuation phase. This phase is
41 // executed by the deduplication thread, which pulls deduplication candidates of the
42 // deduplication queue and tries to deduplicate them.
43 //
44 // A deduplication hashtable is used to keep track of all unique character arrays
45 // used by String objects. When deduplicating, a lookup is made in this table to see
46 // if there is already an identical character array somewhere on the heap. If so, the
47 // String object is adjusted to point to that character array, releasing the reference
48 // to the original array allowing it to eventually be garbage collected. If the lookup
49 // fails the character array is instead inserted into the hashtable so that this array
50 // can be shared at some point in the future.
51 //
52 // Candidate selection criteria is GC specific.
53 //
54 // Interned strings are a bit special. They are explicitly deduplicated just before
55 // being inserted into the StringTable (to avoid counteracting C2 optimizations done
56 // on string literals), then they also become deduplication candidates if they reach
57 // the deduplication age threshold or are evacuated to an old heap region. The second
58 // attempt to deduplicate such strings will be in vain, but we have no fast way of
59 // filtering them out. This has not shown to be a problem, as the number of interned
60 // strings is usually dwarfed by the number of normal (non-interned) strings.
61 //
