Abstract

An instance of universally shared generic code is generated. A runtime parameter enables the size of a stack frame on which local data can be stored to be determined. Dynamically sized locals can be stored on a stack enabling precise garbage collection reporting. One frame of the stack is allocated for each code segment to simplify GC reporting. A reporting region in the frame memory region comprises a count of locals and a location at which the local is found in the stack.
