Who is the maintainer of the GC FAQ at <http://www.iecc.com/gclist/GC-faq.html>? I notice that the "Uncooperative environments" section still contains the misleading statements which I objected to in my ISMM'02 paper "Accurate garbage collection in an uncooperative environment.". Specifically, where it says "In cases where the C is machine-generated ... code to record active pointers can be generated. Even with this assistance, relocation of objects is not generally possible, because compiler-generated temporaries may also reference objects...", the second sentence is at best highly misleading. -- Fergus Henderson <[email protected]> | "I have always known that the pursuit The University of Melbourne | of excellence is a lethal habit" WWW: <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh> | -- the last words of T.
