Description

per allison, we don't need to support this config option for anything other than the default at this time.

While libc, malloc and malloc-trace are all documented as broken, we will still keep them in for a deprecation cycle.

I have opened a branch, gc_options_remove, and prepared a branch therein. I'll merge and apply after the deprecation point.

The deprecation point having passed, I went to merge the gc_options_remove branch into trunk. However, I experienced a build failure:

make: *** No rule to make target `src/gc/resources.o', needed by `blib/lib/libparrot.a'.  Stop.

I suspect that the source of this failure is the fact that, after I branched from trunk, another GC-related branch was merged into trunk. cc-ing whiteknight re that.

I am attaching two files: one is the svn diff that I tried to apply to trunk; the other is the output of make.

Thank you very much.

I figured this would be a problem, but I should have looked at this branch before now. A lot of things inside the GC have changed past the point of recognizability. I'll take a look at the patch and adapt it for current Parrot.
