Thanks for all the responses.
I have created a wiki page to track this proposal:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cxx-conversion/gc-alternatives
It is also indexed from the main improvements wiki:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ImprovementProjects
Given the number of choices we have in this proposal, I've added a
table that keeps track of how popular each of the different choices
are. If you care about this topic, please respond, and/or update the
wiki with your "vote".
So far, the clear winner is pool allocation, followed by
manually-implemented GC marking and reference-counted pointers. We
still have no clear idea of what style of PCH people prefer.
Thanks. Diego.
