The idea is that many objects are transient and can quickly be collected and only a handful of objects are long-term objects that live for the entire life of the application. To improve performance this collector assigns memory pools to each thread to let threads allocate new memory blocks without having to coordinate with other threads. Migration of objects from the nursery to the old generation is done by copying the data from the nursery to the old generation pool and updating any live pointers that point to the data to point to the new location. This can be expensive for large objects, so Mono's SGen uses a separate pool of memory for large objects (Large Object Section) and uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm for those objects.<sup id="cite_ref-mono-compacting_gc_31-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mono-compacting_gc-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Class_library">Class library</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mono_(software)&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Class library"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>class library</i> provides a comprehensive set of facilities for application development.
