Yes I am an Indian Student completed my Bachelor in Computer Science 
from India and now pursuing my Masters in Computer Science from U.S.A

The project which I am planning is a programming language which will 
allow users mainly to access the memory without any misuse also it will 
have garbage collector.The plan behind is that there will be a  garbage 
collector which will be called by the compiler to clean the memory which 
is not in use by the user.And for certain variable (e.g- 
var,char)..Which i will create it in the compiler for those variables 
the garbage collector will ask the compiler whether it is being used by 
the user or it will be used by the user at later time.If yes then The 
garbage collector will ask for the time to come and clean it.

Regarding the small compiler, I will just make a compiler to allow 
Direct Memory Access and Garbage Collector work together without misuse 
of Memory.Since its a Masters Project and the time span is very short.

Therefor it will be my own compiler only the Garbage Collector part I 
will take it from Ruby.And will just add that code with my code.

I am trying for working in Windows Platform.If not possible will switch 
to Linux

Will this VM be writing it's memory allocation pools to random access
memory?

Yes thats my idea..But without any misuse of Memory.

And I am following the Red-Dragon book.

I need some start point in the sense..what the Garbage Collector code is 
using so that it comes clear to me.

Am I able to present my doubts to You?

Also One more question...Can Ruby be run in Windows Platform.

Regards

Tridib
