 Does GCJ give you any support for write-barriers at this time?

Also, is GCJ gc-safe? That is, is it ensured that a pointer to the
beginning of an object can always be found on the stack for live objects?

It would not be gc-safe if there would be a situation when due to
optimization only derived values to a live object were held,
such as a pointer into the middle of an object.
