| While the GC should work on MacOS X Server, MacOS X and Darwin, I only tested | ||||
| it on MacOS X Server. | ||||
| I've added a PPC assembly version of GC_push_regs(), thus the setjmp() hack is | ||||
| no longer necessary. Incremental collection is supported via mprotect/signal. | ||||
| The current solution isn't really optimal because the signal handler must decode | ||||
| the faulting PPC machine instruction in order to find the correct heap address. | ||||
| Further, it must poke around in the register state which the kernel saved away | ||||
| in some obscure register state structure before it calls the signal handler - | ||||
| needless to say the layout of this structure is no where documented. | ||||
| Threads and dynamic libraries are not yet supported (adding dynamic library | ||||
| support via the low-level dyld API shouldn't be that hard). | ||||
|  | ||||
| The original MacOS X port was brought to you by Andrew Stone. | ||||

| Note from Andrew Begel: | ||||
|  | ||||
| One more fix to enable gc.a to link successfully into a shared library for | ||||
| MacOS X. You have to add -fno-common to the CFLAGS in the Makefile. MacOSX | ||||
| disallows common symbols in anything that eventually finds its way into a | ||||
| shared library. (I don't completely understand why, but -fno-common seems to | ||||
| work and doesn't mess up the garbage collector's functionality). | ||||
