Interesting talk. It seems there are a few features D could
provide which would make for some more powerful GCs:
- Hook for when generating code which reads/writes a pointer
allowing GC to put in read/write barriers where necessary.
- Hook for union assignment so that the GC could emplace

With regard to the last point in the talk where Walter was
suggesting not calling finalizers on objects whose code has been
unloaded - would it not make more sense to simply call all the
finalizers before unloading the library?
If the finalizer is not called you will potentially get resource

True but assuming windows isn't completely degenerate the
overhead of a page fault is going to be pretty close to identical
on the same cpu architecture.
On Friday, 24 May 2013 at 11:15:21 UTC,
On 64-bit windows there is also the GetWriteWatch function
which lets you access the dirty flag in the page table = no page
faults = super efficient concurrent generational GC. Just a shame
it doesn't exist on 32-bit systems for some reason.
