// A "SharedHeap" is an implementation of a java heap for HotSpot.  This

  // whose threads invoke "process_strong_roots" must
  // call "change_strong_roots_parity" in sequential code starting such a
  // task.  (This also means that a parallel thread may only call
  // process_strong_roots once.)

  // For calls to process_strong_roots by sequential code, the parity is
  // updated automatically.

  // threads, will contain a "parity" field.  A task will is claimed in the
  // current "process_strong_roots" call only if its parity field is the
  // same as the "strong_roots_parity"; task claiming is accomplished by
  // updating the parity field to the strong_roots_parity with a CAS.
  //
  // If the client meats this spec, then strong_roots_parity() will have
  // the following properties:
  //   a) to return a different value than was returned before the last
  //      call to change_strong_roots_parity, and
  //   c) to never return a distinguished value (zero) with which such
  //      task-claiming variables may be initialized, to indicate "never
