[llvm-dev] [GC / Statepoints] Collector supports only base pointers as stack roots

Hi,

My collector supports only base pointers as stack roots.  This wasn't a 
problem until I tried to run some optimizations before RS4GC, which 
introduced (interior) derived pointers.  The statepoint documentation 
mentions that these collectors exist, but doesn't mention whether and 
how this is currently supported.  What could I do to make it work?
