We describe a novel approach to obtaining type-accurate information for garbage collection in a hardware and language independent way. Our approach uses a run-time analysis to pro...
Abstract. The effectiveness of garbage collectors and leak detectors in identifying dead objects depends on the “accuracy” of their reachability traversal. Accuracy has two ort...
The multi-phase copying garbage collection was designed to avoid the need for large amount of reserved memory usually required for the copying types of garbage collection algorithm...
Several papers ([Appe189],[Goldberg9 1]) have recently claimed that garbage collection can be performed on untagged data in the presence of ML-style type polymorphism. They rely o...
