Re: [boehms-gc] Performance results


GCC is just too huge to try and implement reference counting
just to see what it would do, right?  All managed structures would have
to include a base class with the count in it and all new references would
have to be through a macro...

That's certainly possible, maybe even interesting, but I'm not going to try this :) Circular references could be handled by fallbacking to mark-and-sweep time from time.
