Hello, More
generally, is there a specification of the notion of root used by the garbage collector somewhere ?
I recommend you the following article. You should find what you want inside. @inproceedings{DBLP:conf/ml/CuoqD08, author = {Pascal Cuoq and Damien Doligez}, title = {Hashconsing in an incrementally garbage-collected system: a story of weak pointers and hashconsing in ocaml 3.10.2}, booktitle = {ML}, year = {2008}, pages = {13-22}, ee = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1411304.1411308}, crossref = {DBLP:conf/ml/2008}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de} } Hope this helps, Julien Signoles -- Researcher-engineer CEA LIST, Software Reliability Lab 91191 Gif-Sur-Yvette Cedex tel:(+33)1.69.08.71.83 fax:(+33)1.69.08.83.95 julien.signo...@cea.fr _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
