class G1CollectedHeap;

// This file contains the three classes that represent the memory
// pools of the G1 spaces: G1EdenPool, G1SurvivorPool, and
// G1OldGenPool. In G1, unlike our other GCs, we do not have a
// physical space for each of those spaces. Instead, we allocate
// regions for all three spaces out of a single pool of regions (that
// pool basically covers the entire heap). As a result, the eden,
// survivor, and old gen are considered logical spaces in G1, as each
// is a set of non-contiguous regions. This is also reflected in the
// way we map them to memory pools here. The easiest way to have done
// this would have been to map the entire G1 heap to a single memory
// pool. However, it's helpful to show how large the eden and survivor
// get, as this does affect the performance and behavior of G1. Which
// is why we introduce the three memory pools implemented here.
//
// The above approach inroduces a couple of challenging issues in the
// implementation of the three memory pools:
//
// 1) The used space calculation for a pool is not necessarily
// independent of the others. We can easily get from G1 the overall
// used space in the entire heap, the number of regions in the young
// generation (includes both eden and survivors), and the number of
// survivor regions. So, from that we calculate:
//
//  survivor_used = survivor_num * region_size
//  eden_used     = young_region_num * region_size - survivor_used
//  old_gen_used  = overall_used - eden_used - survivor_used
//
// Note that survivor_used and eden_used are upper bounds. To get the
// actual value we would have to iterate over the regions and add up
// ->used(). But that'd be expensive. So, we'll accept some lack of
// accuracy for those two. But, we have to be careful when calculating
// old_gen_used, in case we subtract from overall_used more then the
// actual number and our result goes negative.
//
// 2) Calculating the used space is straightforward, as described
// above. However, how do we calculate the committed space, given that
// we allocate space for the eden, survivor, and old gen out of the
// same pool of regions? One way to do this is to use the used value
// as also the committed value for the eden and survivor spaces and
// then calculate the old gen committed space as follows:
//
//  old_gen_committed = overall_committed - eden_committed - survivor_committed
//
// Maybe a better way to do that would be to calculate used for eden
// and survivor as a sum of ->used() over their regions and then
// calculate committed as region_num * region_size (i.e., what we use
// to calculate the used space now). This is something to consider
// in the future.
//
// 3) Another decision that is again not straightforward is what is
// the max size that each memory pool can grow to. One way to do this
// would be to use the committed size for the max for the eden and
// survivors and calculate the old gen max as follows (basically, it's
// a similar pattern to what we use for the committed space, as
// described above):
//
//  old_gen_max = overall_max - eden_max - survivor_max
//
// Unfortunately, the above makes the max of each pool fluctuate over
// time and, even though this is allowed according to the spec, it
// broke several assumptions in the M&M framework (there were cases
// where used would reach a value greater than max). So, for max we
// use -1, which means "undefined" according to the spec.
//
// 4) Now, there is a very subtle issue with all the above. The
// framework will call get_memory_usage() on the three pools
// asynchronously. As a result, each call might get a different value
// for, say, survivor_num which will yield inconsistent values for
// eden_used, survivor_used, and old_gen_used (as survivor_num is used
// in the calculation of all three). This would normally be
// ok. However, it's possible that this might cause the sum of
// eden_used, survivor_used, and old_gen_used to go over the max heap
// size and this seems to sometimes cause JConsole (and maybe other
// clients) to get confused. There's not a really an easy / clean
// solution to this problem, due to the asynchrounous nature of the
// framework.


// This class is shared by the three G1 memory pool classes
// (G1EdenPool, G1SurvivorPool, G1OldGenPool). Given that the way we
// calculate used / committed bytes for these three pools is related
// (see comment above), we put the calculations in this class so that
// we can easily share them among the subclasses.

  // calculations we have to do are obtained concurrently and hence
  // may be inconsistent with each other. So, this provides a
  // defensive way of performing the subtraction and avoids the value
  // going negative (which would mean a very large result, given that
  // the parameter are size_t).
