class FreeRegionList;

#define G1_NULL_HRS_INDEX ((size_t) -1)

// This class keeps track of the region metadata (i.e., HeapRegion

// instances). They are kept in the _regions array in address

// order. A region's index in the array corresponds to its index in

// the heap (i.e., 0 is the region at the bottom of the heap, 1 is

// the one after it, etc.). Two regions that are consecutive in the

// array should also be adjacent in the address space (i.e.,

// region(i).end() == region(i+1).bottom().

//

// We create a HeapRegion when we commit the region's address space

// for the first time. When we uncommit the address space of a

// region we retain the HeapRegion to be able to re-use it in the

// future (in case we recommit it).

//

// We keep track of three lengths:

//

// * _length (returned by length()) is the number of currently

//   committed regions.

// * _allocated_length (not exposed outside this class) is the

//   number of regions for which we have HeapRegions.

// * _max_length (returned by max_length()) is the maximum number of

//   regions the heap can have.

//

// and maintain that: _length <= _allocated_length <= _max_length

  // The array that holds the HeapRegions.
