Is this anything you'd be willing to share publicly?
How did you determine the scope of a chunk of memory? I believe you need this to run any of the GC algorithms.
I checked the hboehm documentation (1) and in the section on "Locating roots" it says "you don't want to know":
-Runtime stack(s): you don't really want to know.Need consistent caller-save reg. snapshot
-Static data segments: you don't want to know that either.
-Very platform dependent
But you only have to do it once per platform.

- convolvatron 3y agoyeah, of course. its old crap that I'd have to find if I can. I will look. roots in boehm means globals and the stack. this little thing had explicitly declared roots. edit: I found it, mail me at yuri@tenuki.org. be prepared to be unimpressed.
