Is this the right decision based on what is gained in the new versionand
what is lost by not using an external libgc? I don't know, just asking.
The new version will break peoples' systems (e.g. mine) and the old
version has been working fine (I've been working on a C# application).
A changes of fixes is at http://go-mono.com/archive/1.1.13.5/. If we
file a bug upstream perhaps they'll release 1.1.13.7 that works,
though their last 3 releases (1.1.13.4, 1.1.13.5, and 1.1.13.6) have
not worked with an external libgc.
Guess that will work for now, but it won't be long until mono apps are going
to require the newer version. From some googling it seems that mono has
been working on their garbage collector which if I read correctly is based
on libgc. My understanding is that also to use the mono-debugger, you must
be using the internal version of libgc. I haven't found on the net any
other examples of people complaining about broken builds using an external
libgc, just wondering what is so much better using that garbage collector
vice the built-in one?
