Hi, *** Question: What are all the possible ways to allocate and deallocate memory through the Garbage Collector? ***
Context: I am parallelizing GCC internals and I am facing problems with the GCC Garbage Collector, and therefore I need to make it threadsafe to continue with the project. Currently, I want to do a palliative solution to this, which is locking a mutex every time a chunk of memory is allocated or deallocated. For this, I need to know all the possibilities to allocate and deallocate memory and lock/unlock the mutex there. As far as I have seen, there are the macros XALLOC, XNEW, XNEWVEC... defined in libiberty.h which are called everywhere in GCC, but I don't know if these are the only ways to allocate memory in GCC through the Garbage Collector. Thank you for your support, Giuliano.
