Probably bad, right? I did have fun though.

I haven't measured the performance. I would like to. I'm especially interested in comparing it with the current version of the collector. It is now capable of heap compaction which will be the subject of a future article. I'm also interested in knowing how big a problem the conservative part of the collector is. The C stack depth has been minimized significantly since I got rid of the recursive evaluator. I don't think it's a significant problem but I could be wrong.

I need to implement the compiler's profiling functions in lone. Documentation on the matter seems scarce. Not even sure if those instrumentation APIs are stable. I got away with not implementing the ASAN and stack protector since they added flags that make the compiler emit trapping instructions instead of function calls. Profiling is a lot more complex.
