[Vm-dev] debugging the garbage collector

[Noah Evans]

Hey guys,

I'm working on a port of spoon to Plan 9. I've gotten the system
accepting events and trying to blit (the primitive fails). However as
soon as it tries to GC it looks like at some point in the sweep it's
getting a pointer to object memory rather than a size which leads to a
page fault.

Can anyone give me any pointers to documentation or personal
experience regarding debugging the object memory and GC?

Best regards,

Noah
