Why obviously?
I should have written, not _that_ much.
I think it should be measured, but I don't know what
to compare it against. Repeatedly timing `xemacs -batch -f kill-emacs'
might be a good measurement, given two XEmacsen with maximum
optimization.
Yes, I agree.
Are you sure about that? What gives you the guarantee that mmap()
will return the same address? I'm curious.
Nothing. It's only probable, and due to the identical virtual memory
layout. It may change if some other application forced a remapping of
the shared libraries or this kind of shit. It will be interesting to
see how often it happens.
(Something that calls itself a "portable dumper" should be
portable,
after all. OK, I couldn't resist this one.)
I will still work no matter what mmap returns, of course :-)
I'd *really* like Michael Sperber to comment on our GC
discussions.
Michael, are you still around?
So would I. Michaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel !
