Do you folks know anything about the garbage collector in rScheme
URL:http://www.rscheme.org/? They say it's got a "real time
generational" garbage collector. It must be worth looking over.

Almost every GC algorithm has its advantages and disadvantages.
Real-time gc normally carry high cost, both in memory and in
cpu time.
I believe that options is very important. We should make Perl
6 runtime compaible with multiple gc schemes, possibly including
reference counting. However, it
sweep collector or semi space copy collector. There
is no advantage to use C garbage collector.

Dear Hong,
This was actually a reply to a posted link for a C/C++ replacement GC
(http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/), not the default GC from any
particular C package.

I agree with Damien that the Sun description sounds less portable, which we all
know in the Perl world is crucial (80 ports)(although Sun mentions 16-bit
DOS/Win). Any GC implementation needs to try to 'not break' the existing stuff.
Other questions are somewhat dependent upon what language is

See also Boehm's garbage collector, which is rather more portable:
