Baby’s First Garbage Collector (2013)

• mark-sweep

  11 702 10.0 C

  A simple mark-sweep garbage collector in C

• lisp2-gc

  1 37 10.0 C

  A simple implementation of the LISP2 mark-compact GC algorithm

Something else from the author that I recently stumbled upon: his LISP2 Mark Compact garbage collector [0].

I was in need of a simple garbage collector for a toy project of mine and settled on a copying collector based on Cheney's algorithm at first [1]. The author's mark compact code is so easy to read that I was able to grok it immediately and replace my original GC without trouble and save half my memory.
