+// The SplitInfo class holds the information needed to 'split' a source region
+// so that the live data can be copied to two destination *spaces*.  Normally,
+// all the live data in a region is copied to a single destination space (e.g.,
+// everything live in a region in eden is copied entirely into the old gen).
+// However, when the heap is nearly full, all the live data in eden may not fit
+// into the old gen.  Copying only some of the regions from eden to old gen
+// requires finding a region that does not contain a partial object (i.e., no
+// live object crosses the region boundary) somewhere near the last object that
+// does fit into the old gen.  Since it's not always possible to find such a
+// region, splitting is necessary for predictable behavior.
+//
+// A region is always split at the end of the partial object.  This avoids
+// additional tests when calculating the new location of a pointer, which is a
+// very hot code path.  The partial object and everything to its left will be
+// copied to another space (call it dest_space_1).  The live data to the right
+// of the partial object will be copied either within the space itself, or to a
+// different destination space (distinct from dest_space_1).
+//
+// Split points are identified during the summary phase, when region
+// destinations are computed:  data about the split, including the
+// partial_object_size, is recorded in a SplitInfo record and the
+// partial_object_size field in the summary data is set to zero.  The zeroing is
+// possible (and necessary) since the partial object will move to a different
+// destination space than anything to its right, thus the partial object should
+// not affect the locations of any objects to its right.
+//
+// The recorded data is used during the compaction phase, but only rarely:  when
+// the partial object on the split region will be copied across a destination
+// region boundary.  This test is made once each time a region is filled, and is
+// a simple address comparison, so the overhead is negligible (see
+// PSParallelCompact::first_src_addr()).
+//
+// Notes:
+//
+// Only regions with partial objects are split; a region without a partial
+// object does not need any extra bookkeeping.
+//
+// At most one region is split per space, so the amount of data required is
+// constant.
+//
+// A region is split only when the destination space would overflow.  Once that
+// happens, the destination space is abandoned and no other data (even from
+// other source spaces) is targeted to that destination space.  Abandoning the
+// destination space may leave a somewhat large unused area at the end, if a
+// large object caused the overflow.
+//
+// Future work:
+//
+// More bookkeeping would be required to continue to use the destination space.
+// The most general solution would allow data from regions in two different
+// source spaces to be "joined" in a single destination region.  At the very
+// least, additional code would be required in next_src_region() to detect the
+// join and skip to an out-of-order source region.  If the join region was also
+// the last destination region to which a split region was copied (the most
+// likely case), then additional work would be needed to get fill_region() to
+// stop iteration and switch to a new source region at the right point.  Basic
+// idea would be to use a fake value for the top of the source space.  It is
+// doable, if a bit tricky.
