Hi, A little late here. SM's GC needs to know about all allocations that it might collect, both those that it can trace and those that it can't. Ideally GLib could define an interface
void g_register_allocation (size_t bytes, char *for_whom); and GJS should register some listener on that allocation recorder, which then bumps SM's mallocation counter (which would then cause GC to happen more frequently -- but not "all the time", rather when needed. Of course then you have to patch gdk-pixbuf and everyone else to record allocations, but that's cheap and doable -- basically it's just gdk-pixbuf and the slice allocator anyway, no? To do otherwise is to solve most problems but leave some pathological cases unhandled.
