Lightweight identification of captured memory

The LICM ( lightweight identification of captured memory ) is a new lightweight runtime technique to identify captured memory (memory allocated inside a transaction that cannot escape (i.e., is captured by) its allocating transaction), for which no STM barriers are needed.

This work was presented as a poster in the PPoPP13 with the title: "Runtime Elision of Transactional Barriers for Captured Memory", Fernando Miguel Carvalho and João Cachopo.
