[gclist] Garbage collection FAQ.
Tue, 27 Feb 1996 10:18:24 -0800
I think an FAQ is a wonderful idea. My opinion is that it should
contain the following:
A bibliography of papers and books dealing with GC.
A section with a brief description of the major GC algorithms
(at a high level). I would volunteer for this section.
A description of the GC methods used in selected implementations.
e.g., SML/NJ, some of the Scheme's, whatever anyone wanted to
include, but it should be a language used by at least several people.
And I'm sure that there are many other things that could and should
go into an FAQ.
