Hi all,While I must start this post out by saying that I've never implemented either STM or a garbage collector, during a discussion on #parrot (is that channel logged?), a similarity between the two processes occurred to me.
Not really. STM is a scheme to handle access to shared objects from multiple threads. GC is quite different. The only common thing seems to be that both have to consider safe points and synchronization for MT.
