[gambit-list] Incremental garbage collector

Marc,

I read your paper "A compacting incremental collector and its performance in a production quality compiler": www.iro.umontreal.ca/~feeley/papers/ismm98.ps.gz

- Is (or will) this incremental collector available for Gambit v4? Soft-realtime behavior is important in my app. - The paper is quite old. Does the description of the blocking collector in section 3 still apply to Gambit v4?

(I only ask the second question because under "Main new features" in http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~boucherd/mslug/meetings/20040519/mslug1.pdf.gz, it mentions "Better GC (safe for space)".)

The hybrid approach in this Erlang paper is interesting: http://user.it.uu.se/~kostis/Papers/ismm04.pdf

thanks,

Chris
