Hi, I just read this blog article from austrian Linux expert Michael Kofler. For those among you who don't know the guy, he's my home country's number one Linux expert (known as "der Kofler") and most notably the author of a series of excellent books about Linux over the last 25 years. https://kofler.info/centos-8-wertlose-langzeitunterstuetzung/ Disclaimer : I've been

Hi, I am the author of said blog article. FIRST: It was never my intention to criticize the CentOS team. I appreciate the hard work you are doing. If my blog text (which is in German langugage) gave a wrong impression, I apologize. SECOND: I LOVE CentOS. Otherwise it would not matter to me. I use CentOS to teach Linux administration at university, I promote CentOS in my books and I use it personally on some servers. THIRD: It is a fact that the update gaps for CentOS 8 are currently to...

I cant really seem to find a definite answer: there's a bunch of stuff written on the subject, but nothing definite. "I've got it half way working" seems to be all I can find. So, has anyone gotten it working fully? I'd love to be able to run this without having to install windows... that would be a pain having to reformat etc etc etc... thx

...ct references from the stack 2. Object references from globals 3. Object references from the heap #1 is the hardest from the code generation standpoint, and it is what LLVM provides direct support for. #2 is really a matter of convention, and having the GC export and interface that can be used by langugage front-end in question to register global pointers. #3 requires object descriptors of some sort, produces by the front-end and consumed by the GC.

We have a few questions about the current state of GC. We decided to start (and finish?) our work by finishing SemiSpace. process_pointer is meant to move objects from CurSpace to OtherSpace. How can it find pointers to a moved object? How does it know the size of each object? Assuming we are writing a GC that will only work from llvm assembly our best option seems to be forcing the assembly code
