What type of GC is used in PLT?
Hello everybody,
I am wondering what type of GC PLT uses (especially in v200 for MacOS
X)? As far as I know from the Unix port by default a conservative GC is
used, with the option to build a VM with a precise GC (which is more
portable).
Conservative GC is said to produce large "memory leaks" in the long run.
Is this a) true? b) true if I do not use any foreign C code but "only"
Scheme?
I would appreciate it very much if someone could shed some light on
this, or point me to any further documentation.
Thanks!
Thomas
