Abstract
A system, method, and techniques for managing memory are provided. An example method includes identifying a plurality of regions in a heap storing one or more objects of a first type and one or more objects of a second type. Each object of the first type includes application data and management data, and the management data is used by a managed runtime to manage the application data. The method also includes determining an object of the first type to read and computing, based on a last-known memory address of the object of the first type, a memory address of an object of the second type storing a current memory address of the object of the first type. The method further includes reading the current memory address stored in the object of the second type and locating the object of the first type at the read memory address.
