Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The libgcroots library abstracts the architecture-dependent part of garbage collector roots acquisition such as register windows of SPARC and register stack backing store of IA-64. The main code is based on Boehm GC 7.0. With this library, one can easily write a garbage collector with goals such as a small footprint, some application-specific optimizations, learning, or to test experimental ideas.
