- * THIS IMPLEMENTATION FOR THIS INTERFACE IS INCOMPLETE.
- * NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN TESTED. DO NOT USE.
- *
- * Comments on the interface are appreciated, especially from
- * potential users of the interface.
- *
- * This is a Bartlett style copying collector for young objects.
- * We assume for now that all objects allocated through this
- * mechanism have pointers only in the first BITMAP_BITS words.
- * (On a 32-bit machine, BITMAP_BITS is 30.)
- * Objects allocated in this manner should be rarely referenced
- * by objects not allocated either through this interface, or through
- * the typed allocation interface.
- * If this interface is used, we assume that type information provided
- * through either this or the typed allocation interface is valid
- * in a stronger sense:
- *
- * 1) No pointers are stored in fields not marked as such.
- * (Otherwise it is only necessary that objects referenced by
- * fields marked as nonpointers are also reachable via another
- * path.)
- * 2) Values stored in pointer fields are either not addresses in
- * the heap, or they really are pointers. In the latter case, it
- * is acceptable to move the object they refer to, and to update
- * the pointer.
- *
- * GC_free may not be invoked on objects allocated with GC_copying_malloc.
- *
- * No extra space is added to the end of objects allocated through this
- * interface. If the client needs to maintain pointers past the
- * end, the size should be explicitly padded.
- *
- * We assume that calls to this will usually be compiler generated.
- * Hence the interface is allowed to be a bit ugly in return for speed.
