A Variant of the Fisher-Morris Garbage Compaction Algorithm

The garbage compactification algorithm described works in linear time and, for the most part, does not require any work space. It combines marking and compactification into a two-step algorithm. The first step marks all non-garbage cells and, at the same time, rearranges the pointers such that the c...

description The garbage compactification algorithm described works in linear time and, for the most part, does not require any work space. It combines marking and compactification into a two-step algorithm. The first step marks all non-garbage cells and, at the same time, rearranges the pointers such that the cells can be moved, the second step performs the actual compatification.
