Garbage collection is thoroughly non-thread-safe #85

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The garbage collector currently operates on a "stop the world" basis, but only 
stops the current thread. Develop and deploy a strategy for handling concurrent 
garbage collection.

Moving forward, we'll be employing a green-thread and isolated thread model 
where GC does not need to operate across more than one thread/task at a time. 
This obviates the need for stopping the world.
