the following proposal is about a small library for multithreaded garbage collection using only boost threads.
Am I right in thinking your approach does not allow pointers to objects to be embedded into other objects? They have to be on the stack? If so, I imagine that would be a fairly severe limitation. It prevents you from having circular chains of pointers, support for which is usually one of the reasons for adopting GC. -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK.
