Hi,
 (wrt Rotor v1.0) for a statement *dst=ref, the barrier code checks
whether ref is in the young generation or not. however it is not clear
whether it checks whether dst belongs to the old generation or not? since
the code in gcee.cpp only checks whether dst is a valid heap reference.
does that mean the barrier passes the test even if dst belongs to the
young generation?
Wishing all of you a very Happy new Year!
