Hello, Since mainline is in, or is about to enter very soon, stage 3, I have created a new branch "gc-improv" for GC work and related changes that are not strictly bug fixes. The difference from the old boehm-gc branch is that this one will not contain Boehm's GC integration.
As my previous email http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-09/msg00144.html did not receive any feedback, I assume that the plan there is OK and I will proceed according to it: - Take at least one more allocation site out of GC to pool or obstack; - The "easy" parts of the last week's NEXT_INSN = NULL trainwreck; - Couple more fixes/cleanups. These will be submitted to mainline on stage1/stage2. The interesting parts, already implemented in boehm-gc branch: - gengtype changes to generate separate GC allocators for each used type - convert GCC to use these - add type-tags to objects Then - New GC marker, using type-tags. I will document the gc-improv branch in svn.html shortly. Boehm-gc will stay in the list of active branches until I finish porting over stuff from it. Any comments about the plan are still very welcome :) -- Laurynas
