Summary

GraalVM 21.1.0 has added support for guest-language safepoints. This is much more performant than our safepointing mechanism, and can be used to replace it.

Value

Better performance and a more fault-tolerant mechanism.

Specification

  • Go through the safepoints tutorial.
  • Work out how to use it to replace our mechanism.
  • Replace our mechanism with it.

Acceptance Criteria & Test Cases

  • We have replaced our safepointing mechanism using the Graal one.
