Hi!
The garbage collection offered by the Pharo VM has two divisions. One for young objects, and another for old objects. I was wondering when a young object become old? I start to have a pretty good idea for human beings, but I am not so sure for Pharo objects. Is it when the object survives its first garbage collection?
Hi Alexandre. I am still newbie with VM stuff, but as I understood, yes, young objects become old when they survive to thei first incremental GC. Notice the INCREMENTAL GC and not FULL GC. But I may be wrong...so I will let other to answer properly ;) I have just looked at the code and I am not sure where that movement happens :( Cheers Mariano
Cheers, Alexandre
