when the gc1 cycles it does not block the gc2 threads. Would that be of
any use?
Or possible. And only use communication like between two processes, some
interprocess communication message passing thing.
I mean the entire pure thing makes heavy use of the garbage collector,
maybe
isolating them is a solution, just let it cycle independent from the
rest.
But on the other hand you could just make two processes.
This has been discussed for D2's concurrency system, often in conjunction
with per-thread heaps. The most likely system (as far as I've understood),
is a global GC in the main thread, that takes care of shared objects, and
per-thread GCs for thread-local storage. Problems may occur when objects
are moved from one thread to another, or when created in one thread and
later cast to shared.
Granted, I am no GC expert, so everything written above should be taken a
pinch or two of salt.
