Later contributions should instead be mentioned in -README.changes. - -HISTORY - - - Early versions of this collector were developed as a part of research -projects supported in part by the National Science Foundation -and the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency. - -The garbage collector originated as part of the run-time system for -the Russell programming language implementation. The first version of the -garbage collector was written primarily by Al Demers. It was then refined -and mostly rewritten, primarily by Hans-J. Boehm, at Cornell U., -the University of Washington, Rice University (where it was first used for -C and assembly code), Xerox PARC, SGI, and HP Labs. However, significant -contributions have also been made by many others. - -Some other contributors: - -More recent contributors are mentioned in the modification history in -README.changes. My apologies for any omissions. - -The SPARC specific code was originally contributed by Mark Weiser. -The Encore Multimax modifications were supplied by -Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu). The adaptation to the IBM PC/RT is largely -due to Vernon Lee, on machines made available to Rice by IBM. -Much of the HP specific code and a number of good suggestions for improving the -generic code are due to Walter Underwood. -Robert Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX code. -Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk) -subsequently provided updates and information on variation between ULTRIX -systems. Parag Patel (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code. -Jesper Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and -Martin Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port. -Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and -Brian D.Carlstrom (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports. -Douglas Steel (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code. -Bill Janssen (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader -specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied linux and -Sony News specific code. Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1 code. He and -Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided several generic bug fixes. -Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com) supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports. -Jeffrey Hsu (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port. -Brent Benson (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to -a Motorola 88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk). -Ari Huttunen (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to -nonIBM development environments (a nontrivial task). -Patrick Beard (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port. -David Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements. -Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the -code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC. -Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code. -Zhong Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the -current typed allocation facility. (His dynamic type inference code hasn't -made it into the released version of the collector, yet.) - |
