> This archive has a couple of files implementing an early version of a trace-forward copying collector for GCv5. It's only a starter with very basic functionalities. It is a generational GC reqiures write barrier implemented in JIT. It was tested with JET, and ran SPECJBB2000 and SPECJVM98.
> The algorithm is depth-first tracing of From-space, and forwarding live objects to To-space (It can forward part of the From-space). The To-space has no real management except for the accomodation of forwarded objects and large objects. So the To-space is going to be replaced by a mark-compaction GC, and the large objects will be managed by a LOS GC. 
> In order to minimize the changes to other components of DRLVM, the codes here comply with the original contract between GCv4 and other components. I also borrowed some routine code from GCv4 to avoid repetitive labor work.
> GCv5 is under active development, so please expect quick and big changes to this submitted code base. I will submit new codes from time to time when they are worth a submission. Any comments or codes are more than welcome.
