In this tutorial, we aim to help you enable garbage collection (GC) for array types in Eclipse OMR. As a budding GC expert, you will achieve this goal by defining an array-based object model for two kinds of arrays: 1) reference array to store references; and 2) byte array to store unstructured data. By the end of the tutorial, you will be able to run a simple benchmark to see how these arrays are automatically managed by the GC.
