Has anyone tried adding GC to Andrew? I've got our free conservative GC just sitting here (on arisia.xerox.com (13.1.100.206), ~ftp/pub/gc.shar), which provides replacements for malloc(), realloc(), and free(). Should I try just linking it in? Are there other things to look out for? Bill I'd bet that interior pointers generated by ATK would cause lots 'o problems. I don't believe that this version of PARC's conservative GC handles interior pointers correctly. Still it's worth the experiment. -- Geoff wyant@saber.com

What advantage does your "conservative GC" offer over the andrew malloc? The thing I have always liked best about andrew malloc, was that it worked, even when IBM's didn't. -wdc
