JDK-6964458 - Reimplement class meta-data storage to use native memory
Description
The class loader dependencies are currently part of the ClassLoaderData (in C++ code).
Consider adding those dependencies the class loader object to simplify GC code.
Comments
EVALUATION This is fixed and included in fix for Summary: Remove PermGen, allocate meta-data in metaspace linked to class loaders, Class loader dependencies are an objArrayOop that the ClassLoaderData points to. This will dirty the card for this objArrayOop when new dependencies are added and GC will be able to find them.
