FLTK 1.7 (Linux) and Boehm garbage collection

[Basile Starynkevitch]

Hello all,

Did anyone experimented FLTK (1.5 ....) with the Boehm conservative garbage collector? I am mostly interested in using (and coding with) FLTK on Linux laptops.

Boehm GC is on https://github.com/bdwgc and packaged in many Linux stributions.

In theory using it could avoid a lot of coding.... (of course running slightly slower graphical applications).

I would imagine that the slow down is small. Because most of FLTK time is spent outside of malloc and free or operator new or operator delete.

Thanks.
