obtained gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 from upstream website;upstream
verified gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2.sig;
imported gcc-4.6.4 source tree from verified upstream tarball.
downloading a git-generated archive based on the 'upstream' tag
should provide you with a source tree that is binary identical
to the one extracted from the above tarball.
if you have obtained the source via the command 'git clone',
however, do note that line-endings of files in your working
directory might differ from line-endings of the respective
files in the upstream repository.

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.) + |
