GC incremental

I don't think anyone has seriously attempted to get it to work, yet.  My
guess would be that if you just call GC_enable_incremental(), it might work
for some small programs.  To get it to work reliably, someone would have to
make a pass through libgcj, and make sure that all system calls which write
to the heap are suitably wrapped, so that they don't see protection faults
while excuting the system call.

Hello. I have a question:
Is the GC incremental working with gcj?
Do I need to call GC_enable_incremental() in my java program to enable
incremental collections (beacuse I didn't find a call to this function
in libjava)?

regards
