Abstract
A garbage collectoris composed of a generation heap creator, an inter-generation object relocator, and a generation heap deallocator. The generation heap creatorcreates a generation heap at a start of execution of a method. The inter-generation object relocatorrelocates, upon detecting a reference from an object in an older generation heap to another object in a younger generation heap, the referenced object in the younger generation heap to the older generation heap. The generation heap deallocatordeallocates, at a completion of a method, a generation heap corresponding to the method.
