Then compiler implement- ation is independent of hardware-assisted GC implementation. Kelvin wrote: : 3. Since the memory architecture is portable between CPU architectures, : we can separate issues of instruction-set compatibility from issues : of real-time garbage collection support. ------------- Kurt Bischoff, Odyssey Research, 301A Dates Drive, Ithaca, NY, 14850 (607) 277-2020 bischoff@oracorp.com
