//
// String Deduplication
//
// String deduplication aims to reduce the heap live-set by deduplicating identical
// instances of String so that they share the same backing character array.
//
// The deduplication process is divided in two main parts, 1) finding the objects to
// deduplicate, and 2) deduplicating those objects. The first part is done as part of
// a normal GC cycle when objects are marked or evacuated. At this time a check is
// applied on each object to check if it is a candidate for deduplication. If so, the
// object is placed on the deduplication queue for later processing. The second part,
// processing the objects on the deduplication queue, is a concurrent phase which
// starts right after the stop-the-wold marking/evacuation phase. This phase is
// executed by the deduplication thread, which pulls deduplication candidates of the
// deduplication queue and tries to deduplicate them.
//
// A deduplication hashtable is used to keep track of all unique character arrays
// used by String objects. When deduplicating, a lookup is made in this table to see
// if there is already an identical character array somewhere on the heap. If so, the
// String object is adjusted to point to that character array, releasing the reference
// to the original array allowing it to eventually be garbage collected. If the lookup
// fails the character array is instead inserted into the hashtable so that this array
// can be shared at some point in the future.
//
// Candidate selection
//
// An object is considered a deduplication candidate if all of the following
// statements are true:
//
// - The object is an instance of java.lang.String
//
// - The object is being evacuated from a young heap region
//
// - The object is being evacuated to a young/survivor heap region and the
//   object's age is equal to the deduplication age threshold
//
//   or
//
//   The object is being evacuated to an old heap region and the object's age is
//   less than the deduplication age threshold
//
// Once an string object has been promoted to an old region, or its age is higher
// than the deduplication age threshold, is will never become a candidate again.
// This approach avoids making the same object a candidate more than once.
//
// Interned strings are a bit special. They are explicitly deduplicated just before
// being inserted into the StringTable (to avoid counteracting C2 optimizations done
// on string literals), then they also become deduplication candidates if they reach
// the deduplication age threshold or are evacuated to an old heap region. The second
// attempt to deduplicate such strings will be in vain, but we have no fast way of
// filtering them out. This has not shown to be a problem, as the number of interned
// strings is usually dwarfed by the number of normal (non-interned) strings.
//
// For additional information on string deduplication, please see JEP 192,
// http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/192
