You can find a new version of my portable precise C++ garbage collector in vault/memory. There are at least 2 literal numbers on lines 541 and 554 of cppgc.hpp with no indication of what they mean. I'd suggest you define these as named constants together with minimal documentation at the definitions somewhere earlier in the code and then use these names in place of the literals.
