actually making a good GC for D is difficult because the only
type of barrier you can use it hardware protection faults. The
performance dropoff isn't _that_ bad from what I've read in
various papers.
I should have an article up in a few weeks detailing my summer
research project on this.
That sounds like an interesting project!
I think it is possible to modify the language slightly and make
(to me) acceptable restrictions on where GC is allowed to get
better performance. Still, I am sure you will be able to find
some new opportunities in your research project.
I am looking forward to see what you come up with.
