"Well, 1) I used "can" specifically because I didn't want to assert
"are". 2) If you never need to collect, you will not even execute 1
instruction the entire run (let alone 1 for each free). 3) You can
write such very efficient "free"s even within the language - just roll
your own allocator (which is what I believe happens in real-time
contexts actually requiring "heap" style allocation). 4) we were not
talking about these sort of special "free"s..."
What do you mean "special frees", I was talking about the absolutely
standard free routine, accessed by the built-in routine unchecked_deallocation
in the Alsys compiler, not something I added on (Jon, perhaps you don't
know, but I worked for years for Alsys, and quite a bit of the x86 (x = 2 and
3) runtime work was my code, including the allocator!)
