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 gcc. Compiling with clang is also possible, simply replace "gcc" with "clang" in the first line of the Makefile.

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.

This is a personal project that I am writing in my free time to learn more about garbage collection. Thank you to Robert Nystrom for the idea.
