- lower 9y agoI think LLVM has a new approach to garbage collection, namely statepoints: https://llvm.org/docs/Statepoints.html https://llvm.org/docs/Statepoints.html The old gcroot mechanism "is mostly of historical interest at this point".
- rurban 9y agoBut it's still terrible. And it's their 3rd jit now, the first, his, bring abandoned, the 2nd being extremely limited, and the current also not much better in this regard. Statepoints with OCR for loops is one goody. It's still much easier to use any other jit library written in C for C projects.
