;## misc.lsp -- a collection of useful support functions ;; Garbage collection "improvement" -- XLISP will GC without allocation ;; as long as it does not run out of cells. This can make it very slow ;; since GC does work proportional to the heap size. If there were ;; always at least, say, 1/3 of the heap free after GC, then allocating ;; cells would be more-or-less a constant time operation (amortized). ;; ;; So, after GC, we'll expand until we have 1/3 of the heap free. ;; (defun ny:gc-hook (heap-size free-cells) (cond ((< (* free-cells 2) heap-size) ;; free cells is < 1/3 heap ;; expand.
