[LLVMdev] A working garbage collector - finally :)
...CollectUnionLocalVar {
var u:String or float = newString("Hello");
tart.gc.GC.collect();
assertTrue(u isa String);
assertEq("Hello", typecast[String](u));
u = 1.0;
tart.gc.GC.collect();
assertFalse(u isa String);
}
The heart of the collector is the TraceAction class - which is invoked for
each pointer reference. The tracer for the Tart language is written, of
course, in Tart, although the style is not the normal Tart style due to the
need to deal with low-level objects such as addresses and pointers:
private final class TraceActionImpl : TraceAction {...

[LLVMdev] LLVM and managed languages
Hi Talin,
I have some questions below. If these topics have already been discussed in earlier threads, kindly point me there. I'm aware of your GC proposal, but the rest is new to me.

[LLVMdev] LLVM and managed languages
So I've been using LLVM for about 4 years now, and I've posted a lot on this
list about specific issues. What I would like to do is step back for a
moment and give my "big picture" assessment of LLVM overall, particularly
with respect to developing a "managed" language like Java / C# or my own
language, Tart.
Obviously, I feel that LLVM is the best choice out there,
