| | In the previous post I said that in the second post in the series we'd talk about how rooting works. However, as I sat down to write that post, I realized that it would be a good idea to back up and give an initial overview of how a tracing garbage collector works - and in particular, how the underlying garbage collector in shifgrethor is implemented. In the abstract, we can think of the memory of a Rust program with garbage collection as being divided into three sections: the stack, the "unmanaged" heap...

| | Orinoco, V8's garbage collector, evolved from a sequential stop-the-world implementation into a mostly parallel and concurrent collector with incremental fallback.
