Mono's GC

by Miguel de Icaza

Paolo covers three issues on his blog post about the Mono GC:

  • Setting expectations as to what the new Compacting GC will be able to do.
  • The new support for purely managed object allocation (without having Mono transition from managed to unmanaged code to allocate objects).
  • Performance improvements that you might expect from this optimization in Mono 1.2.6

Zoltan has also implemented the needed support for managed-based allocation on the ahead of time compiler.
