35 // This class represents an oop in the HotSpot virtual machine.
36 // Its subclasses are structured in a hierarchy which mirrors
37 // an aggregate of the VM's oop and klass hierarchies (see
38 // oopHierarchy.hpp). Each instance of ciBaseObject holds a handle
39 // to a corresponding oop on the VM side and provides routines
40 // for accessing the information in its oop. By using the ciBaseObject
41 // hierarchy for accessing oops in the VM, the compiler ensures
42 // that it is safe with respect to garbage collection; that is,
43 // GC and compilation can proceed independently without
44 // interference.
45 //
46 // Within the VM, the oop and klass hierarchies are separate.
47 // The compiler interface does not preserve this separation --
48 // the distinction between `Klass*' and `Klass' are not
49 // reflected in the interface and instead the Klass hierarchy
50 // is directly modeled as the subclasses of ciKlass.
