  • Boehm Garbage Collector
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jan 2024
    I have a library which has an extremely slow free, around 2m for large files, because of unnaturally scattered allocation patterns, but this old conservative GC didn't help at all. It was about 40% slower with libgc. mimalloc was a bit better. Best would be a properly fast GC, like mps https://github.com/Ravenbrook/mps, but this would be too much work.

    The first thing you should look at is MPS (see https://github.com/Ravenbrook/mps and https://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/). It's open source, professionally maintained and very powerful, and it was used e.g. in Dylan and LispWorks.

  • Mmtk: Memory Management Toolkit
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Dec 2022
    I wonder how the MMTK compares to the venerable Ravenbrook MPS https://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/ which originated in Harlequin’s programming language implementations, particularly Dylan.
  • Garbage Collection with LLVM
    3 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 24 Sep 2022
    I am trying to implement garbage collection for my language because I want memory management for arrays/lists and strings. I am looking through LLVM's garbage collection page but the documentation isn't great. Are there any other resources that offer more concrete steps to implement garbage collection? Would it be wise to circumvent LLVM all together for garbage collection and only use something like the Memory Pool System? Thanks!
  • Memory Management Reference

    This post seems related to the authors of MPS (1) that seems to be a general garbage-collector to use with various languages.

    Many GC'd languages really didn't bother with stack-allocating variable-size entities, and regardless of if they did then _precicely_ scanning the stack would be complicated without compiler help.

    If the compiler doesn't leave any info to the GC, then it can't know if it's scanning a pointer or a float and if your GC strategy relies on compacting memory (ie moving objects) then trying to guess between a float or a pointer can become fatal.
