A Generation is a collection of one or more Spaces.

Walk the Objects in this Space, passing each to a Visitor.
Params:
  • visitor – An ObjectVisitor.
Returns:True if all visits returned true, false otherwise.

Promote an Object to this Generation, either by HeapChunk motion or copying. If the original is copied, a forwarding pointer to the new Object is left in place of the original Object. This turns an Object from white to grey: the object is in this Generation, but has not yet had its interior pointers visited.
Params:
  • original – The original Object to be promoted.
  • header – The header of the object that should be promoted.
Returns:The promoted Object, either the original if promotion was done by HeapChunk motion, or a new Object if promotion was done by copying.
