Stevan Apter scripsit: > who IS henry baker anyway? He's probably best known for the Baker garbage collector, which divides the available space into Tospace and Fromspace. Each gc run lazily copies some non-garbage from Fromspace to Tospace until nothing is left in Fromspace: then the two semi-spaces swap identities. It was the first stop and copy (as opposed to mark and sweep or mark-sweep-compact) garbage collector. One of his papers also inspired Chicken Scheme. -- John Cowan [email protected] http://ccil.org/~cowan Half the lies they tell about me are true. -- Tallulah Bankhead, American actress
