This is not true, I've implemented one for Java.
So how do you implement a semi-space GC with pinned objects?
Be more flexible in what the semi-spaces are.
So you just don't. Effectivley you work around the problem.
My experience with book algorithms is they usually require some adjustments when
working with real problems in the real world. I was well aware of how moving GCs
worked when I set the semantics of D objects, since I'd implemented one, and was
careful to make them possible with D.
I would still prefer that specifing a scanning function for unions becomes
mandatory.
I already agreed that there are better ways.
