Re: [tree-ssa] Garbage collector x bb annotations
:-) But really, getting things slower just because we are lazy to write
10 more lines of code is not a great idea. I agree there is a terrible
mess in memory allocation in gcc, and having this all done by garbage
collector would be great, but we should first have a good one (btw.
what
I always wondered -- is there not somewhere floating some decent free
garbage collector that could be used?)
Boehm's is slower than what we've got now.
I'm working on hybrid copying + mark and sweep.
If you *really* want to improve the gc, however, we need compiler
support.
