marCsweep/README.md

marCsweep

A mark-and-sweep garbage collector with a simple virtual machine to perform allocations.

Building

Compiling the project should be relatively easy, even if you aren't familiar with make.

Dependences: git, make, and the C compiler of your choosing (the Makefile assumes gcc).

git clone https://codeberg.org/andyscott/marCsweep.git

cd marCsweep

make release

That's it! The Makefile will automatically create the build directory and place the compiled executable there.

Notes

This is a personal project that I am writing in my free time to learn more about garbage collection. That said, please remember that it does allocate real memory, which should not be taken lightly!
