(sorted bottom up)

Edge Cases

• [WIP] Find and list cases that don't work

Memory compaction

• Implement memory compaction for free objects

Generational GC

• Add age to object metadata
• Create separate lists for each age group
• Run garbage collector at different intervals for each group

Use of GC

• Create basic test file that uses malloc, calloc, realloc, free
• Run mark and sweep collector every malloc

GC Algorithm Implementation

• [WIP] Basic object allocation + graph creation
• [WIP] Mark and sweep algorithm code
• Mark and sweep algorithm skeleton

Initial Setup

• Setup makefile
• Add vector files from MP (jlian5, 2/18)
  • I(jlian5) added my own vector files i coded in my mp, if any of yall know how to add it like how they handled it in mp_shell you can try.
