Subject: Re: Why Ruby Uses Mark-and-Sweep GC?

Hi Matz,

This is my second thought.  Can the non GCed objects simply use
"rb_gc_un/register_address()" when they have references to GCed
objects (or a similar concept)?  We are talking on the C side, of course;
nothing on the Ruby side will change.

Regards,

Bill
