I have decided to implement a garbage collection system for C++.  Currently
I am trying to pick the garbage collection algorithm to use.  Are there
better algorithms than 'generation scavenging'?  Does anyone have paper
references for the 'best' garbage collection algorithm?

Please e-mail or post.  Thanks.
