That's why I wrote that Java GC is not a good "hint" for user controlled GC
and M3 GC is much better in that respect.
My view is that all objects by default should be UNTRACED.
Only those objects that are subjected to GC should be marked
as TRACED. This approach is opposite to what is done in Modula-3
but it gives full control to the programmer over GC and it also provides
compatibility with the current Ada 95 implementations
All the traced objects should be allocated in separate storage pool
controlled
by GC pool storage manager that could provide all needed operations for user
to control GC process.
I was pleased very much by the nice Tucker Taft post regarding this
issue.
Now I have a feeling that this issue has grown up and we may expect some
progress in this area soon.
