A theoritical alternative might be to use a precise copying collector like Qish. http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/qishintro.html In practice, this would be impractical (even if the GTY marker could help) because it requires changing a lot of code.
Precise copying collector is certainly a viable idea, there have already been some experiments with GCC, see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-03/msg01266.html . -- Laurynas
