How to walk the heap? [message #48666] Mon, 14 August 2017 16:22

I have implemented a mark/sweep gc for my parser system.

The problem was that the parser can allocate nodes
and then discard them. So, instead of tracking and free
unused nodes, I simply ignore them, letting the gc do
the rest, later. It works, but my implementation is quite naive.

Now: I know UPP has its own heap, and I`m pondering
about the possibility to drop my implementation.
To do that I would need to walk through heap allocated
blocks, recongnize ast`s nodes, mark them and so on...

The problem is that I simply can not find the entry-point
to do this (...if any).

thanks
Paolo
