sgcl VS rune

The SGCL repository contains the source code for this benchmark that uses the tracked pointers: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl/blob/main/examples/treap/treap...

You can look at the SGCL garbage collector for C++: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl. It works in a separate thread, is locks-free and never stops the world.

It will never be called gc_ptr because C++ programmers have an allergy to the term GC. However, an attempt was made to implement a similar solution. Take a look at tracked_ptr: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl

SGCL is a real-time garbage collector for C++ without any pauses.

Removed GC support was useless. You can have GC pointers in C++.

Mutators are threads that allocate memory and manipulate pointers, they can work completely independently of the GC. A mutator needs only to tag an object when copies or moves a pointer to this object. The GC detects this tag and marks the object as alive. Here is a working implementation for C++: https://github.com/pebal/sgcl

I don't know Rust but you can have a pauseless GC in C++. You just need to provide asynchronous access to root pointers.

There are a few research languages where handling secrets and constant-time operations correctly is a first-class feature. See for example:

I can field questions folks might have on DataDraw. I'm not Bill, but I wrote the docs PR that recently overhauled the Rune README to highlight a lot of this interesting info about its use of the DD tool.

Another neat thing about DD -- the Rune compiler/grammar itself are written as DataDraw types, and one of the builtin things you can do is generate PostScript visualizations of them. Check this out:

Maybe Google's new "Rune" language will become prevalent https://github.com/google/rune, which supports SoA.
