Joel F. Bartlett's 1988 paper "Compacting garbage collection with
ambiguous roots" describes a conservative "mostly copying" compacting
GC scheme; his 1989 paper "Mostly-Copying Garbage Collection Picks Up
Generations and C++" descibes a generation variation. Frederick Smith
and Greg Morrisett's 1997 paper "Mostly-Copying Collection: A Viable
Alternative to Conservative Mark-Sweep" describes an improved variant
that they compared with the BDW by using both with the TIL/C ML
compiler. Giuseppe Attardi, Tito Flagella, and Pietro Iglio describe
a GC in their 1998 paper "A Customisable Memory Management Framework
for C++" that uses mostly copying GC for the default heap.
