DECWRL C++ garbage collector now available via FTP
The C++ garbage collector that has been used for the last year within
Digital Equipment Corporation's Western Research Laboratory is now
available for public
ftp.
The collector provides compacting garbage collection for C++ without any
changes to the C++ compiler or runtime system and with a minimum of
machine specific code (< 20 lines). Collection is done by a
generational, "mostly-copying" collector.
The system is available for anonymous ftp from 'gatekeeper.dec.com'
[16.1.0.2]. The Scheme->C files are in '/pub/DEC/CCgc'. Those files include:
26nov90.tar.Z initial release. This includes support for
Digital VAX and DECstation systems running
ULTRIX.
