[doc] GC v5 description now available
Hi all,
Just a note to let you know that we've uploaded another major document to
the set of DRLVM docs. You can now read about the architecture and itnernals
of GCv5, our current default generational garbage collector [1]. Check it
out for info on generational and non-generational operation modes,
collection algorithms, heap partitioning, etc. I'd like to thank Xiao Feng
Li for valuable contributions to this document.
You're welcome to submit feedback on the doc to point out errors, bugs,
lies, you know.

Nadya, please add link for 4.3.3 Fallback from the contents to this section.

MOS is for mature objects and NOS is for nursery objects. These are
the two generations.

Such terms as MOS and NOS are used in section (4.3.1 Minor collection
--- trace-forward algorithm, Non-Generational mode).
NOS and MOS here is just parts of the heap (something like from-space,
to-space)? Because, how could we speak about mature and nursery object
if we don't have generations?
Could somebody explain me?
