How does the GC of mlton work ? If I understood correctly mlton does have 32-bit integers so if it has a mark-and-copy family garbage collector, its tags are kept apart. ML-Kit has a region garbage collector. It collects static information by analyzing the source-code at compile time but it is not enough so it is combined with an other kind of 'dynamically computed' collection (also by regions if I understood correctly the simple explanations of the user manual) Maybe could you find more information (or at least their filling) on the subject ?
