What did we decided about the GC thread? I offered to create checkpoints from the GC thread. Are there some reasons not to do so? There was one - the GC thread isn't always enabled. But we may require it be enabled if checkpoints are enabled... What do you think? Or may be its better to use distinct thread ? May be we create ICP during GC process, or on iget() call, or on iput() call? But I have arguments against these... Are there some comments/advices? -- Best Regards, Artem B.
