I have almost completed an incremental mark & sweep garbage collector for C++. A question that I have is : "How often should I run the collectors?" If I never run it, the system will do panic garbage collection all the time. But if I run it too often, the system will never get any useful work done. Is there a formula or heuristic that I can use to decide how often to run the collector? Thanks. -Thomas Wang ("This is a fantastic comedy that Ataru and his wife Lum, an invader from space, cause excitement involving their neighbors." - from a badly translated Urusei Yatsura poster) ttwang@polyslo.calpoly.edu
