Implementation of the distributed garbage collector
Tasks performed by the manager:
- The manager will create an single object of the class DistGC which
must perform the distributed garbage collector.
- Any time that a process P receives a remote reference not currently
present in the object table, the manager will invoke the method
sendDirtyCall(wrep)
on P. The parameter wrep
is the wire representation of reference received.
- Any time that a process P detects that a stub is no longer
reachable locally, the manager will extract its wire representation
wrep
from the object table and will invoke the method
sendCleanCall(wrep)
on P.
