I created a new branch tonight, /branches/pdd09gc to try to continue some of my GC work from the summer with a blank slate. I have a few cleanup jobs I want to do first, so that it should be easier to add in a new GC without having so many problems as I had. One thing I've wanted to do is to separate out all the MS collector from src/gc/dod.c and src/gc/smallobject.c into a new src/gc/gc_ms.c. I've made this change already in my branch, and if there are no objections I would like to merge this change over into trunk.
I think it gives us better consistency with the other GC cores we're making (src/gc/gc_gms.c, src/gc/gc_ims.c, src/gc/gc_it.c), and keeps GC hackers from having to jump back and forth between files to see functions that are part of the same essential subsystem. Any disagreements? --Andrew Whitworth
