Just skimmed through the docs - this is super interesting. Love the idea of a minimal GC with no runtime dependencies. Anyone here tested it with something more intense than toy benchmarks? Curious how it handles edge cases under memory pressure or concurrency. Also, would be great to hear how it compares to Boehm or Rust’s drop model in real-world workloads.
- maxuser 1y ago+1 to seeing a comparison to Boehm. I remember that being all the rage at the time, but then stopped hearing about it. I recall Boehm being a conservative collector, whereas Fil-C appears to be precise.
- brucehoult 1y agoI already tried to compare to Boehm on a toy program, but Fil-C didn't seem to GC at all! https://lobste.rs/s/q7b1gm/fil_s_unbelievable_garbage_collector#c_bwcbvi https://lobste.rs/s/q7b1gm/fil_s_unbelievable_garbage_collec...
