Dan Sugalski: # On my part. Here's a way we can dodge the whole neonate, infant # mortality nonsense. # # Instead of marking everything dead at the beginning of a DOD run, # which'll get us the most aggressive cleanup, we mark things dead at # the *end* of the run. Then we also allocate all our headers marked as # live on allocation, and make sure there's some minimum number of free # headers after the end of a DOD run to make sure we don't collect too # soon. # # This'll mean we don't have a neonate problem, though we trade that # off with having all headers live through at least one DOD sweep. We # can, if we want, have a separate DOD routine that does the mark as # dead first (and last) that the explicit DOD trigger op can use so we # don't have to worry about things living longer than they should. # # We could call them conservative_DOD and aggressive_DOD or something # along those lines, if we wanted.
I could imagine a few pathological cases that would invoke two DOD runs before we get around to anchoring the original header to the root set. --Brent Dax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @roles=map {"Parrot $_"} qw(embedding regexen Configure) blink: Text blinks (alternates between visible and invisible).
