You *must* use an end marker, i.e.,

This will work because it counts between the beginning of memory and the (arbitrary) end marker. Anything else basically should not be relied on to work, jit or no.
What happens if a process with higher priority interrupts the iteration and creates more objects?
New objects would come after the end marker in memory.
