Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector. Single-threaded for OS/2.

1Dynamic loading support requires that executables be linked with -ldld.
2The alternative is to build the collector without defining DYNAMIC_LOADING
3in gcconfig.h and ensuring that all garbage collectable objects are
4accessible without considering statically allocated variables in dynamic
5libraries.
6
7The collector should compile with either plain cc or cc -Ae. Cc -Aa
8fails to define _HPUX_SOURCE and thus will not configure the collector
9correctly.
10
11Incremental collection support was reccently added, and should now work.
12
13In spite of past claims, pthread support under HP/UX 11 should now work.
14Define GC_HPUX_THREADS for the build. Incremental collection still does not
15work in combination with it.
16
17The stack finding code can be confused by putenv calls before collector
18initialization. Call GC_malloc or GC_init before any putenv calls.
