Daniel, first of all, how would you prefer to communicate on general GCC issues? Is it OK to send e-mail to you and to gcc mailing list, or should I send such mails to gcc mailing list only?
Some of the GCC roots live on the heap memory, e.g. ident_table. These are not found by Boehm's GC by default. I've started fixing such places by registering these additional roots. But it got me thinking: how do the old GCC garbage collectors know about those roots? I do not see any root registration calls, but maybe I do not know where to look. They cannot handle such roots automatically because they don't intercept ordinary malloc calls and do not track information about such regions. So that's puzzling me. Any hints would be appreciated. -- Thanks in advance, Laurynas
