Just one question. Did you read "the garbage collection handbook"?
Yah, the new edition. Unfortunately I didn't find a lot of new stuff or
things that would help in a practical implementation.

Very good,
In my opinion it should be required for everyone who wants to
participate in D's GC to read that book. So everyone has at least a
basic understanding of the problem at Hand.
But if you read the book I don't understand, why you simply declare the
hardest problem, percise pointer discovery, as done. To be able to
actually implement and test a GC that is not a reimplementation of what
we already have one needs percise pointer discovery of _all_ pointers,
write barriers and GC halting points. So please enlighten me why you
simply decalre this done?
Kind Regards
