The collector provides compacting garbage collection for C++ without any changes to the C++ compiler or runtime system and with a minimum of machine specific code (< 20 lines). Collection is done by a generational, "mostly-copying" collector. The system is available for anonymous ftp from 'gatekeeper.dec.com' [16.1.0.2]. The Scheme->C files are in '/pub/DEC/CCgc'. Those files include: 26nov90.tar.Z initial release. This includes support for Digital VAX and DECstation systems running ULTRIX.
