Abstract
An example method of managing memory includes identifying a first object of the first type to update, the first object being stored on a heap. The method also includes reading a first memory address stored in a second object of the second type and storing a copy of the first object at a second memory address. The first memory address is an initial memory address of the first object. The method further includes after the copy is stored, reading a third memory address stored in the second object. The third memory address is a current memory address of the first object. The method also includes determining whether the first memory address matches the third memory address, and when the first memory address is determined to match the third memory address, updating the first memory address stored in the second object with the second memory address.
