[MouseJstr] + + Enough people have asked so... Once you grab a copy of the + libGC library from (http://amber.stormbirds.org/~joshs/gc6.3.tar), + you start up a bash shell from inside cygwin and untar + the gc6.3.tar. This will produce a gc6.3 directory. Then + cd into that directory and type ./configure. Once that is + done you type "make" and then "make install". This will + spray the various includes and libraries all over your + cygwin install (most in /usr/local). + + Now, edit Makefile and change the CC line to use the + + CC = gcc -pipe -DGCOLLECT + + entry. Also change the GCLIB to + + GCLIB = -L/usr/local/lib -lgc + + Remember to comment out the ones no longer used. Do a clean + build and good luck. Obviously, this has not been tested + by that many people so you really are on the cutting edge + but if you have good results, send me a note + (joshs@stormbirds.org) so that we can see if it really is + ready for prime time. + + What should you see? Well, the map-server should not + grow/consume extra memory anymore. More so, it should use + dramatically less memory then it did before using the + garbage collector. + + The downside is that it will consume a little more CPU... + + The question is, how much? how laggy? what effect on lots + of players? I've heard stories saying it makes the server + unplayable and others told me that they saw no + player-visible effects at all. + + 01/25 * Fixed TXT compile problems with libGC [celest] * Added "Clients older than 2004-09-06aSakray" option to packet_ver_flag in |
