Azul C4 is not a pauseless GC. In the documentation it says "C4 uses a 4-stage concurrent execution mechanism that eliminates almost all stop-the-world pauses."

Except the documentation says

> C4 differentiates itself from other generational garbage collectors by supporting simultaneous-generational con- currency: the different generations are collected using concurrent (non stop-the-world) mechanisms

It doesn't matter at all. C4 uses STW.
