- Dmitry Olshansky (6/20) Feb 04 2018 Not really you can’t - first check the API to understand that
- Kagamin (4/5) Feb 06 2018 Useful for server applications that more often than not have
- Dmitry Olshansky (2/6) Feb 04 2018 Generational -> write barriers -> no, not really.
Hi, not sure if anyone is aware of this: http://wiki.luajit.org/New-Garbage-Collector I don't know if anythin like this would fit for D but the concept is described pretty extensive. -- Robert M. Münch http://www.saphirion.com smarter | better | faster

Single threaded simplifies a lot. So no, not useful.

BTW: I used this stuff about 20 years ago: http://www.microquill.com/ and they are still around. And yes, it was damn fast and HeapAgent was a great tool to use. -- Robert M.
