Do you really need a precise collector? Boehm's collector works just fine.
Most people don't, but some do. In Jones and Lins _Garbage Collection_
there's mention of "misidentification" or "false" pointers in applications with large compress bitmaps. Also, for highly connected
structures, I remember reading that there could be a problem.
If so, I don't think you can do it without compiler support.
I was hoping stl_container.cpp would be as close as possible w/o compiler support. I think Detlef also mentioned this somewhere in his article. The closer it is, then the less testing would need to be done to change the compiler.
