At a times I really don't know why can't we just drop in a Boehm GC
(the stock one, not homebrew stuff) and be done with it. Speed? There
is no point in speed if it leaks that much.
Or you know, switch to D and use druntime's GC.
Good point. Can't wait to see D-only codebase.
Hmm. DMD doesn't use a known and tried, imprecise GC because
it is a lot slower.
No it doesn't. It used a precursor of D's GC and that turned out to be
slow. See Walter's post.
How is DMD written in D using the druntime
GC going to help that ?
GC is that easier to reach, every enhancement to D's GC becomes
instantly available. Wanna make compiler faster - make D's runtime
faster! ;)
I wondered about this ever since there
was talk about DDMD. I'm totally expecting compile times to
multiply by 1.2 or so.
Since memory management is going to stay the same with disabled GC (at
least for starters), I doubt things will change radically. If they will
then it'll just highlight perf problems in D's runtime that need work.
