Recently I got concerned GC won't play well together with memory swapping under available memory condition. Can incremental garbage collection be smart enough to guess a memory zone hasn't been touched in a while, and avoid causing the OS to swap it back in memory only for GC scanning ? Is there a doc of the incremental garbage collection work that’ll be done for moz2 ?

Recently microsoft research started a harder push into C/C++ analysis, but I don't think anything customizable has shipped yet. I did find PreFast, but it only does some pre-canned tricks.

Ben, that's all we want. Someone even suggested going the LD_PRELOAD way, but gcc isn't linked with rdynamic, so it's not possible.

If GCC has a system for dynamically loading them we could go the route of making these ourselves, right? Do these plugins have to be present at compile time (of GCC).
