Thanks for the example code. Its gives a good idea how the shadow stack works. But I have another question. Using the shadow stack is a nice and simple way to implement GC, but it might have a large runtime overhead per function call. Is there another way to preserve garbage specific information (gcroots) through the llvm optimizer and native code generator? This information could be used to

Hello, I want to add garbage collection support to a compiler with a llvm backend, using the shadow-stack compiler plugin. I read the GC tutorial in the LLVM documentation, and the paper about shadow-stacks. Im currently adding intrinsics to my generated llvm code, and trying to write code to connected it to my (existing) garbage collector library. Im not sure yet how everything fits together.
