The ellipsis is intentional, I think. But end-of-input-fix doesn't seem to name anything.

That said, only branch 'master' and 'sharpsign-equals-protocol' have been updated in years, so perhaps the is a local branch that was never pushed, scymtym?

jcowan: the url had three dots, not the "horizontal ellipsis" character if that's what you mean. when i wrote the message, the url referred to a comparison between the master branch and the end-of-input-fix branch. the intention was to let Bike have a look at the changes

i have added the commits in question to the master branch and deleted the end-of-input-fix branch: https://github.com/s-expressionists/Eclector/compare/master~2...master
10:55:59
scymtym
i should delete the sharpsign-equals-protocol branch as well since those changes have been added to master as well

scymtym: there are also many other stale branches listed at https://github.com/s-expressionists/Eclector/branches/stale
10:57:59
scymtym
mfiano: for the others, i would have to check which ones are actually obsolete and which just haven't been worked on for some time

jcowan: speaking of eclector branches, i think you requested (or maybe suggested) this change: https://github.com/s-expressionists/Eclector/compare/relaxed-sharpsign-s~2...relaxed-sharpsign-s . i'm planning to merge this sometime soon

One oddity of non-moving collection I observed today (but had to get someone else to come up with reasoning for). When pages are partly filled, it requires more pages to allocate a certain amount of space (spread among many small objects), which necessitates more locking, if one must lock when getting more pages.

With one benchmark I have, the mutator time is pretty constant with regards to heap size, when using a copying GC, but has a factor which is inversely proportional to heap size when using the mark-region GC.
12:17:56
hayley
The factor is small (about 5% total), but enough to make the mutator faster with mark-region collector than with copying in large heaps, and slower with smaller heaps.

Fixes would include trying to avoid locking while getting more pages, or compacting so that fewer pages need to be claimed.

the github branches display compactly shows which branches actually ahve commits that aren't in the main branch. it's pretty nice.
