This patch removes the GC zone allocator. It is not used and it produces several regressions in the testsuite. Furthermore, it complicates things for the plan to implement manual GC markers (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cxx-conversion/gc-alternatives#Do_GC_marking_manually).Tested on x86_64 with standard checking, --enable-checking=gc and --enable-checking=release. I will need a global reviewer to approve the patch. Laurynas, could you take a look to make sure I'm not forgetting to remove anything? RMs: I spoke with Richi on IRC and he was OK with removing the zone collector in trunk now. Please speak up if you disagree and would like me to wait until 4.9. Thanks. 2013-01-21 Diego Novillo <dnovi...@google.com> * Makefile.in (GGC): Remove. Replace all instances with ggc-page.o. (ggc-zone.o): Remove. * configure.ac: Remove option --with-gc.
Won't this mean that use of the configure option is now silently ignored, rather than generating an error? Existing users of the option might be slightly confused by that.
