The pain from conservative GC depends on how much your address space you are using. In the 32-bit age, you ran into problems more and more as your heap approaches the GB range. At some point the probability that you end up with a false root that keeps a lot of garbage alive goes to 1. In the 64-bit age we get a respite, although many systems don't really use 64-bit pointers. |
