After reading #145, I would like to know your opinion on using Boehm-Demers-Weiser Garbage Collector github.com/ivmai/bdwgc instead of GC_malloc.

It can be used as a plug-in replacement for C/C++ malloc, is used in a lot of solid projects and languages and can take advantage of type information to locate pointers when this information is provided.

Another option that seems to be better is Immix and it's improved version Reference Counted Immix.

Found them here (Fast Conservative Garbage Collection) and here (crystal-lang/crystal#5271)

Immix
