frgo: I read all the boehm stuff long ago - I've been running on my working knowledge and imagination - I'll read that again.

I did not reach out to Hans-J.Boehm - I didn't imagine that that would be productive. That you know him is interesting.

I did reach out to Ivan Maidanski - he is the maintainer of the boehm library. He suggested that I ask questions on StackExchange and post feature requests to the github.

The guidance so far https://www.hboehm.info/gc/scale.html is to build boehm with flag settings for parallel collection. We have not done that yet. We have been using the stock boehm libraries for debian (apt-get) and macOS (homebrew).

frgo: If you are on good terms with him - could you introduce me to Hans-J. Boehm? He might be able to direct us to people who could answer questions.

drmeister regarding boehmgc, I thought we should use the version from https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp-boehm instead of the version used by brew. Is this no longer the case?

Especially have a look at https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp-boehm/blob/master/makefile#L12

kpoeck: It's been so long that I don't recall about the clasp-boehm repo - but it's good that you reminded me. I'm building a version I got from cracaeur at the moment - I'll take a look at clasp-boehm

Argh - I read these long comments - but my brain switches off near the end of them.

I think there is missing functionality in boehm. There is no way to push partial work onto the mark stack.
