Subject: Boehm GC API update backport
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2016 12:19:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452946775.620786968@f334.i.mail.ru> (raw)

Hello,
Proposed 4 commits are code refactoring of boehm-gc (and libjava/boehm.cc, accordingly) to match API of recent BDWGC master ( https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc ). This should simplify optional replacement of internal boehm-gcc with the external one.
All gcj tests pass.
Some of the benefits of using mainline boehm gc:
* has no compiler warning
* more targets supported (e.g. arm64)
* no trouble with back-porting gc patches Similar thing was proposed for the Mono community - https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/2247 (the patches were accepted recently)

Best regards,
Ivan
