For more details and the names of other contributors, see the
README file and gc.h. This file describes typical use of
the collector on a machine that is already supported.
INSTALLATION:
Under UN*X, type "make test". Under OS/2 or Windows NT, copy the
appropriate makefile to MAKEFILE, read it, and type "nmake test".
Read the machine specific README if one exists. The only way to
develop code with the collector for Windows 3.1 is to develop under
Windows NT, and then to use win32S.
If you wish to use the cord (structured string) library type
"make cords". (This requires an ANSI C compiler. You may need
to redefine CC in the Makefile.)
If you wish to use the collector from C++, type
"make c++". These add further files to gc.a and to the include
subdirectory. See cord/cord.h and gc_c++.h.
TYPICAL USE:
Include "gc.h" from this directory. Link against the appropriate library
("gc.a" under UN*X). Replace calls to malloc by calls to GC_MALLOC,
and calls to realloc by calls to GC_REALLOC. If the object is known
to never contain pointers, use GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC instead of
GC_MALLOC.
Define GC_DEBUG before including gc.h for additional checking.
