Something for the reference shelf:
Garbage Collection
Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management
Richard Jones & Raphael Lins
John Wiley and Sons, 1996
ISBN-0-471-94148-4
Still haven't had time to delve into it but from a quick browse it looks
really good and my heavily-into-LISP-boss recommends it. Contents:
Introduction
The Classical Algorithms (refcounting, mark-and-sweep, copying)
Reference Counting (several variants)
Mark-Sweep (ditto)
Mark-Compact (ditto)
Copying (various strategies)
Generational Garbage Collection (you know the drill)
Incremental and Concurrent Garbage Collection (...)
Garbage Collection for C
Garbage Collection for C++
Cache-Conscious Garbage Collection
Distributed Garbage Collecion
