Dear boost developers,
You can find a new version of my portable precise C++ garbage collector in vault/memory.
The file:
src/cppgc.cpp
contains:
void __fastcall _gc_traits::scan(register void *ptr) {
Don't use __fastcall because it's faster - it's probably not! It dictates the compiler how to arrange the registers, which can result in less efficient code (spilling on the stack for reordering).
is __fastcall portable?
No it's an MSVC'ism.
Interesting... Are you sure (as it's most prominently used by Delphi)? Regards, Tobias
