[rvm-research] where are rvm class object allocated?

[yi z. <cat...@gm...>]

Hi, Everyone:
       I am confused about how rvm allocate all its system objects.
       1. To my understanding, application objects are allocated in the
Spaces. However,  the Spaces themselves are also objects, and are they
allocated in a separate heap? Is it the heap of the host jvm? But I thought
the host jvm were discarded when the rvm is fully running.
       2. I add an extra field in RVMThread objects, it's an int array of
size 512k. I thought those int arrays for threads should be allocated in the
largeobjectspaces.  I add more arrays to justify my guess. However, I
observe the largeobjectspace and total used space when garbage collection,
they are not changed at all. Could anyone tell me where are the objects of
fields of RVMThread allocated?

      Thanks~~
