Okay, a copying collector for buffers is now in place and committed. Works pretty well, though the fact that we never mark any buffers as unused does tend to slow things down a bit. I'm working on the tracing liveness bits now, so those'll go in soon.
Snag and enjoy. And read PDD 9--I'm going to add more to it, but a copying collector will make your (and my) life profoundly unpleasant if we're not careful with buffer pointers under the hood. -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
