If we're fine with losing a bit of precision due to data races we can probably relax the atomic here to separate loads and stores. |
|
What I'm saying is that we can still use that information to skip a sweep even when multithreaded, so the mark_threads == 0 should only potentially guard the assertion. |
|
I believe this could lead us to incorrectly skip the page. As an example, we may have a case where the racy increment would cause nold to be exactly prev_nold, while a non-racy update would lead nold to be less than prev_nold. In this case, the racy update will lead us to take an incorrect sweeping decision. |

Fair enough, LGTM |

I guess we might sweep more than necessary in this case then, which is fine, but still less than with this pr where we always sweep? |
|
I believe this would be incorrect since a race on setting the mark-bits in Two threads may end up marking the same object twice, but actually calling |

Ah, right, you might have still needed |
|
This causes quite a big regression in some cases. So it seems it's not worth it . |
