Class Subspace

java.lang.Object

public class Subspace
extends Object

This class is an abstraction of a contiguous region of a Space. For example, a semispace collector might choose to model the heap as a single Space, but within that Space it could model each semispace by a Subspace.

Subspace provides a number of useful facilities to many drivers, and is useful even if the Space comprises just a single contiguous region.

A subspace keeps track of the start and end address of the region, the index of its first block, the size of the blocks in this space, and the number of blocks in this subspace.
