I did some testing, is not exhaustive at all, but it may give you some idea of what to expect. My conclusion is that this *first* approach is not as good as conservative scanning for some programs, but the (Tango) runtime patch is extremely simple and there are some optimization opportunities. All this keeping the current GC design, but the compiler patch open the possibilities of new designs that take better advantage of the type information. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Does humor belong in music? -- Frank Zappa Yes it does, Frank. -- Kevin Johansen
