-This is an attempt to acknowledge early contributions to the garbage
-collector. Later contributions should instead be mentioned in
-README.changes.
-
-HISTORY -
-
- Early versions of this collector were developed as a part of research
-projects supported in part by the National Science Foundation
-and the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency.
-
-The garbage collector originated as part of the run-time system for
-the Russell programming language implementation. The first version of the
-garbage collector was written primarily by Al Demers. It was then refined
-and mostly rewritten, primarily by Hans-J. Boehm, at Cornell U.,
-the University of Washington, Rice University (where it was first used for
-C and assembly code), Xerox PARC, SGI, and HP Labs. However, significant
-contributions have also been made by many others.
-
-Some other contributors:
-
-More recent contributors are mentioned in the modification history in
-README.changes. My apologies for any omissions.
-
-The SPARC specific code was originally contributed by Mark Weiser.
-The Encore Multimax modifications were supplied by
-Kevin Kenny (kenny@m.cs.uiuc.edu). The adaptation to the IBM PC/RT is largely
-due to Vernon Lee, on machines made available to Rice by IBM.
-Much of the HP specific code and a number of good suggestions for improving the
-generic code are due to Walter Underwood.
-Robert Brazile (brazile@diamond.bbn.com) originally supplied the ULTRIX code.
-Al Dosser (dosser@src.dec.com) and Regis Cridlig (Regis.Cridlig@cl.cam.ac.uk)
-subsequently provided updates and information on variation between ULTRIX
-systems. Parag Patel (parag@netcom.com) supplied the A/UX code.
-Jesper Peterson(jep@mtiame.mtia.oz.au), Michel Schinz, and
-Martin Tauchmann (martintauchmann@bigfoot.com) supplied the Amiga port.
-Thomas Funke (thf@zelator.in-berlin.de(?)) and
-Brian D.Carlstrom (bdc@clark.lcs.mit.edu) supplied the NeXT ports.
-Douglas Steel (doug@wg.icl.co.uk) provided ICL DRS6000 code.
-Bill Janssen (janssen@parc.xerox.com) supplied the SunOS dynamic loader
-specific code. Manuel Serrano (serrano@cornas.inria.fr) supplied linux and
-Sony News specific code. Al Dosser provided Alpha/OSF/1 code. He and
-Dave Detlefs(detlefs@src.dec.com) also provided several generic bug fixes.
-Alistair G. Crooks(agc@uts.amdahl.com) supplied the NetBSD and 386BSD ports.
-Jeffrey Hsu (hsu@soda.berkeley.edu) provided the FreeBSD port.
-Brent Benson (brent@jade.ssd.csd.harris.com) ported the collector to
-a Motorola 88K processor running CX/UX (Harris NightHawk).
-Ari Huttunen (Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi) generalized the OS/2 port to
-nonIBM development environments (a nontrivial task).
-Patrick Beard (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) provided the initial MacOS port.
-David Chase, then at Olivetti Research, suggested several improvements.
-Scott Schwartz (schwartz@groucho.cse.psu.edu) supplied some of the
-code to save and print call stacks for leak detection on a SPARC.
-Jesse Hull and John Ellis supplied the C++ interface code.
-Zhong Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the
-current typed allocation facility. (His dynamic type inference code hasn't
-made it into the released version of the collector, yet.)
