The C++ garbage collector that has been used for the last year within
Digital Equipment Corporation's Western Research Laboratory is available
for public ftp.

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.

A technical report describing a generational, compacting garbage
collector for C++ is available from Digital's Western Research Lab. For
instructions on how to order a hard copy report or have the Postscript
e-mailed to you, send a message to our technical report server at
Wrl-Techreports@decwrl.dec.com with the word "help" in the subject line.
