-Permission is hereby granted to use or copy this program
-for any purpose, provided the above notices are retained on all copies.
-Permission to modify the code and to distribute modified code is granted,
-provided the above notices are retained, and a notice that the code was
-modified is included with the above copyright notice.
-
-A few files have other copyright holders. A few of the files needed
-to use the GNU-style build procedure come with a modified GPL license
-that appears not to significantly restrict use of the collector, though
-use of those files for a purpose other than building the collector may
-require the resulting code to be covered by the GPL.
-
-For more details and the names of other contributors, see the
-doc/README* files and include/gc.h. This file describes typical use of
-the collector on a machine that is already supported.
-
-For the version number, see doc/README or version.h.
-
-INSTALLATION:
-Under UN*X, Linux:
-Alternative 1 (the old way): type "make test" in this directory.
- Link against gc.a.
-
-Alternative 2 (the new way): type
- "./configure --prefix=<dir>; make; make check; make install".
- Link against <dir>/lib/libgc.a or <dir>/lib/libgc.so.
- See README.autoconf for details
-
-Under OS/2 or Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, or 2000:
-copy the appropriate makefile to MAKEFILE, read it, and type "nmake test".
-(Under Windows, this assumes you have Microsoft command-line tools
-installed, and have DOS configured with enough environment space to run them.)
-Read the machine specific README in the doc directory if one exists.
-The only way to develop code with the collector for Windows 3.1 is
-to develop under Windows NT or 95+, and then to use win32S.
-
-If you need thread support, you will need to either follow the special
-platform-dependent instructions (win32), or add a suitable define
-option as described in Makefile.
-
-If you wish to use the cord (structured string) library, type
-"make cords". (This requires an ANSI C compiler. You may need
-to redefine CC in the Makefile. The CORD_printf implementation in
-cordprnt.c is known to be less than perfectly portable. The rest
-of the package should still work.)
-
-If you wish to use the collector from C++, type
-"make c++". These add further files to gc.a and to the include
-subdirectory. See cord/cord.h and include/gc_cpp.h.
-
-TYPICAL USE:
-Include "gc.h" from the include subdirectory. Link against the
-appropriate library ("gc.a" under UN*X). Replace calls to malloc
-by calls to GC_MALLOC, and calls to realloc by calls to GC_REALLOC.
-If the object is known to never contain pointers, use GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC
-instead of GC_MALLOC.
-
-Define GC_DEBUG before including gc.h for additional checking.
-
-More documentation on the collector interface can be found at
-http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gcinterface.html,
-in doc/README, and in include/gc.h .
-
-WARNINGS:
-
-Do not store the only pointer to an object in memory allocated
-with system malloc, since the collector usually does not scan
-memory allocated in this way.
-
-Use with threads may be supported on your system, but requires the
-collector to be built with thread support. See Makefile. The collector
-does not guarantee to scan thread-local storage (e.g. of the kind
-accessed with pthread_getspecific()). The collector does scan
-thread stacks though, so generally the best solution is to ensure that
-any pointers stored in thread-local storage are also stored on the
-thread's stack for the duration of their lifetime.
