[gclist] GC triggering strategies

[David Gadbois]

I am working on a stop-and-mostly-copy generational GC that uses write
barrier violations to detect and record references from older to younger
generations.  It occurs to me that it may win to trigger a GC when the
number of violations recorded to a level hits a given number.  Has
anyone tried this approach?

A more general question:  Are there any good general adaptive heuristics
for triggering a GC?
