Crate zerogc_simple[−][src]
Expand description
The simplest implementation of zerogc’s garbage collection.
Uses mark/sweep collection. This shares shadow stack code with the zerogc-context
crate, and thus SimpleCollector is actually a type alias for that crate.
Internals
The internal layout information is public,
and available through the (layout module)self::layout.
The garbage collector needs to store some dynamic type information at runtime, to allow dynamic dispatch to trace and drop functions. Each object’s GcHeader has two fields: a GcType and some internal mark data.
The mark data is implementation-internal. However, the header as a whole is repr(C)
and the type information
Sometimes, users need to store their own type metadata for other purposes. TODO: Allow users to do this.
Modules

Structs
