Hello,

Garbage collection is a blessing for most programmers, and makes system and
applications more robust. But sometimes it's a bane. I've written, in
Bluebottle, an interpreter for a language whose one of most important
features is that it produces no garbage. It allocates a lot of stuff in the
heap, but it knows exactly the lifetime of each chunk of memory. Therefore
it would be very interesting and efficient to dispose memory by hand. Is
there any way to do that?

Thanks for any help.

Gérard
