摘要：Mechanisms and techniques operate in a computerized device to perform amemory management technique such as garbage collection. The mechanisms andtechniques operate to detect, within a storage structure associated with a thread,

general memory references that reference storage locations in a general memory areasuch as a heap. The storage structure may be a stack utilized by the thread, which maybe, for example, a Java thread, during operation of the thread in the computerized device.The system maintains a reference structure containing an association to the generalmemory area for each detected general memory reference within the storage structure.The system then operates a memory management technique on the general memoryarea for locations in the general memory area other than those for which an associationto the general memory area is maintained in the reference structure, thus increasing theperformance of the memory management technique.
