With conservative stack scanning enabled, a snapshot of the call stack upon entry to GC will be used to determine part of the root-set. When the collector walks the stack, it looks at each value and determines whether it could be a potential on-heap object pointer. However, unlike with Handles, these on-stack pointers aren't guaranteed to point to the start of the object: the compiler may decide hide these pointers, and create interior pointers in C++ frames which the GC doesn't know about. The solution to this is to include an object start bitmap in the header of each page. Each bit in the bitmap represents a word in the page payload which is set when an object is allocated. This means that when the collector finds an arbitrary potential pointer into the page, it can walk backwards through the bitmap until it finds the relevant object's base pointer. To prevent the bitmap becoming stale after compaction, it is rebuilt during object sweeping. This is experimental, and currently only works with inline allocation disabled, and single generational collection.
