// recorded as a GC program, which can express repetition compactly.
// In either form, the information is used by the runtime to initialize the
// heap bitmap, and for large types (like 128 or more words), they are
// roughly the same speed. GC programs are never much larger and often
// more compact. (If large arrays are involved, they can be arbitrarily more
// compact.)
//
// The cutoff must be large enough that any allocation large enough to
// use a GC program is large enough that it does not share heap bitmap
// bytes with any other objects, allowing the GC program execution to
// assume an aligned start and not use atomic operations. In the current
// runtime, this means all malloc size classes larger than the cutoff must
// be multiples of four words. On 32-bit systems that's 16 bytes, and
// all size classes >= 16 bytes are 16-byte aligned, so no real constraint.

// is 32 pointers, the bits for which fit in 4 bytes. So maxPtrmaskBytes
