Where garbage Collector is in V8 sources?

I am curious about various implementations of Garbage Collector libraries. And I wanted to take a look on the implementation done by V8 developers. But browsing through code I do not understand where it is in the source tree? Can I get a list of files for GC implementation? Can I use them separately for my hobby projects?

in v8globals.h I found this definition:

enum GarbageCollector { SCAVENGER, MARK_COMPACTOR };

But it does not look like a class or function API.

Thank you.

Try the following files: heap-inl.h, heap.h, heap.cc, incremental-marking-inl.h, incremental-marking.h, incremental-marking.cc, objects-visiting-inl.h, objects-visiting.h, objects-visiting.cc, global-handles.h, global-handles.cc and so on.

The license is BSD 3, so you can use it separately for your projects if you meet the BSD license conditions. Basically retain the copyright headers and don't say that Google endorses your project. IANAL.
