But if you do want to allow it, then my original problem comes back. You have to scan the malloced memory because you are not sure where that memory might contain pointers to GC managed memory.
If mallocing for types that are statically known at compile time, it should be knowable if they need scanning or not.
And the hybrid hybrid approach (i.e. - only some of the memory allocated by malloc is scanned) is a wasp nest of potential bugs and problems.
True. Manual memory allocation is that way. Hopefully RC will be better.
