DRAFT: This is very old, and is not intended to be merged directly.
This PR contains a hypothetical change I made for the purpose of killing the
ProcessEdgesWork. The point is, thetrace_objectmethod is at the heart of a trace, the counterpart of theTraceorTraceLocaltype in the old JikesRVM. Each plan should provide a customtrace_objectmethod instead of a customProcessEdgesWorkimplementation.On the contrary, a
ProcessEdgesWorkwork packet simply encapsulates enqueued slots, and should contain methods that (1) load from the slots, (2) calltrace_objectand (3) store the forwarded reference back to the slot. It should not implement thetrace_objectmethod itself.
