16: For more details and the names of other contributors, see the
17: README file and gc.h. This file describes typical use of
18: the collector on a machine that is already supported.
19:
20: INSTALLATION:
21: Under UN*X, type "make test". Under OS/2 or Windows NT, copy the
22: appropriate makefile to MAKEFILE, read it, and type "nmake test".
23: Read the machine specific README if one exists. The only way to
24: develop code with the collector for Windows 3.1 is to develop under
25: Windows NT, and then to use win32S.
26:
27: If you wish to use the cord (structured string) library type
28: "make cords". (This requires an ANSI C compiler. You may need
29: to redefine CC in the Makefile.)
30:
31: If you wish to use the collector from C++, type
32: "make c++". These add further files to gc.a and to the include
33: subdirectory. See cord/cord.h and gc_c++.h.
34:
35: TYPICAL USE:
36: Include "gc.h" from this directory. Link against the appropriate library
37: ("gc.a" under UN*X). Replace calls to malloc by calls to GC_MALLOC,
38: and calls to realloc by calls to GC_REALLOC. If the object is known
39: to never contain pointers, use GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC instead of
40: GC_MALLOC.
41:
42: Define GC_DEBUG before including gc.h for additional checking.
