digitalmars.D - CDGC porting: is someone still working on it?

Hello.

i was reading about porting of CDGC to D2, but can't find that thread.
so i want to ask if someone is still working on it.

and does somebody working (or planning to work) on precise GC, for that
matter? i know that we need compiler support for it, that's why i'm
asking. this will open the way to all kinds of funny GCs, including
compacting one. alas, i'm not ready to take this challenge yet, my
special powers still very limited (lexer games, parser games...).

There are many discussions on the topic in the forums with various ideas and things being in the works, but nothing coherent I think. What I'd prefer is to have a non-stack GC where you have GC-pointers within a graph and only trace those, backed by compiler magic. That's the most critical use scenario in my opinion. And it could be made very fast if you use cluster the GC-pointers to the same cache lines. Good luck! :-)

Unfortunately I have had to pause it a bit because of other work tasks but it is definitely still a priority and I expect to publish something to play with later this autumn.

Is it due to the garbage collector running :) -- /Jacob Carlborg
