Hello folks,
I wonder if the community would be interested in attaching another
garbage collector to the parrot VM. For example, Apache Harmony
contains implementation of a parallel garbage collector [1] which is
quicker on modern multi-core and SMP systems.
If you think this may be technically feasible, I wonder if there are
any legal issues which prevent Apache-licensed component to be used
with the code licensed under artistic license.
I'm currently looking at tools/dev/mk_manifest_and_skip.pl to add GC
files to the build process. I'm also trying to dig up how
--gc=<config> option of Configure.pl works.
This script automatically generates MANIFEST and MANIFEST.SKIP based
on what's checked into the repository; If files are added to the
repo, running this tool automatically adds them.
