[LLVMdev] open source multithreaded garbage collector suitable for LLVM applications?

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH]

Hello All

Does any know about some opensource multithread-compatible (or 
concurrent) garbage collector library, if possible suitable for LLVM?

(I mean that I want several mutator threads; the collector can be 
stoptheworld or concurrent ....)

H.Boehm's conservative GC is multithread compatible, but seems quite 
slow (allocation is about the time of a C malloc).

And it is well known that coding concurrent GC is quite hard, much 
harder than coding a single-threaded GC.

And with LLVM, adapting to the constraints of the GC is easier.

Are there people using LLVM in multi-threaded applications with some 
other GC than Boehm's?

Regards.
