GC scheme for a new language/runtime
|
I'm well on my way to completing a commercial/production grade language (compiler and runtime environment), but I'm stuck deciding what the final GC scheme should be. Right now I'm using a mixture of lazy reference counting without cyclic refer... |

Programmer's forum

You must be that scholar I was looking for.
Care to explain yourself, or are you afraid your ignorance will shine through? |

Boost Libraries

Multithreaded game design - help

Of course not. But a blanket statement does not an argument make. Especially considering that we now program in the era of multiple cores.
