Meaning of VirtualMachine>>incrementalGCCount
Hi there, what's exact meaning of VirtualMachine>>incrementalGCCount? Comment says: "Answer the total number of incremental GCs since startup (read-only)." But what exactly is called 'incremental CG' in context of PharoVM? Again, thanks for any clarification :-) Jan
Hello Jan, An incrementalGC, in the sense of the V3 memory manager, is a scavenge (unrelated to what other people call an incremental GC). With the new memory manager Spur the names were updated to match common vocabulary. Please ask such questions on vm-dev 2014-12-04 10:30 GMT+01:00 Jan Vrany <jan.vrany@fit.cvut.cz>:

Right, that would have been better. I'm sorry. Best, Jan
