Re: [Asymptote-developers] autotoolization

[John B. <bo...@ma...>]

There is a good reasons for having Asymptote build a single-threaded
version of gc. From the manual:

The above steps will compile an optimized single-threaded static
version of the Boehm garbage collector
(@url{http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/}).
Alternatively, one can request use of a (presumably multithreaded and therefore
slower) system version of the Boehm garbage collector by configuring
instead with @code{./configure --enable-gc=system} (provided
that your system has the @code{libgc} and @code{libgccpp}
libraries). One can disable use of the garbage collector by configuring
with @code{./configure --disable-gc}
