> Attached is implementation of write barriers for C/C++ based GCs (WB4C) in Jitrino.JET.
> Currently, the GC's function gc_heap_slot_write_ref (file vm\gc\src\gc_for_vm.cpp)
> is used as write barrier helper.
> WB4C is off by default. To turn it on pass 'wb4c=true' option to .jet. Please refer to
> PMF docs for details on how the arguments passing is working currently.
> Normally, if you're using .jet-only mode (java -Xem:jet), the complete command line is
> java -Xem:jet -Djit.JET.arg.wb4c=true Hello
> Note: by default, the static fields writes (PUTSTATIC opcode) are *NOT* reported.
> This is due to specifics of DRLVM where the static fields lies outside of the managed heap.
> To force the reporting of static fields pass 'wb4c.skip_statics=false' (only works
> together with wb4c=true):
> java -Xem:jet -Djit.JET.arg.wb4c=true -Djit.JET.arg.wb4c.skip_statics=false Hello
> (Note: current implementaion of gc_heap_slot_write_ref() will raise assert() in this case).
> This patch also prepares some stuff for write barriers for Java (wb4j) but the complete
> implementaion of wb4j will be supplied later.
