I'm forwarding this to the list. The answers should be part of the public discussion, and I don't see anything here that I would characterize as "private". But I'm stripping the sender information just in case.
Forwarded message: Forward lined seem interesting but for nursery we would admit many dead objects. How many ?. In many cases a line will be 1 object especially large objects which are likely to hold many value types. For small objects you will have few int references so incur little cost , though im a little concerned about wrappers Which include interfaces. Re m bits I need to reread its use. Re internal references to c its not just c but packets,lgt,ldt skipping c even. Im ok with no internal referenced to value types but value types nearly always exist in a heap ref objects eg list which holds vectors. And all internal references are references to non native value types. What about value types in ref types in regions ? Btw why must regions have int references ? Why would a c# approach and fatpointer offset slices fail?
