| Description | MPS lacks example GC code - a "hello-world with GC" for beginners Related jobs: job001367 -- simplest hello-world, with manual management RHSK 2006-05-15 It's hard to get started using GC -- hard to know which parts of the MPS are important. We should write the simplest possible example of the MPS collecting some garbage. |
| Analysis | RHSK 2006-05-15 Simplest is to use mps_arena_collect(), and show it successfully discriminating between live and dead objects. Keep it really simple. Remember that the audience for this example may not be familiar with how GC works. Pitch source comments at a general GC tutorial level. |
