[gobo-eiffel-develop] Gec, Boehm and xace

[Colin P. A. <co...@co...>]

I did an svn update this morning, and noticing the large number of
changes, I decided to re-run the bootstrap.

Looking at History.txt, I see, amongst others:

This makes if possible for example for 'gec' to determine
           --
 whether the Boehm GC should be used trhough the Xace option
                                      --
 'garbage_collector'.

Apart from the two typos, the sentence seems to suggest that <option
name="garbage_collector" value="boehm"/> should now work.

But there is no confirmation of this in the section on gec itself. I
see that a compile_ge.xace file is generated and read, and the option
gets passed through to that file. But it looks like the option is
still ignored. Can you confirm that for the moment I still have to
type the gec command by hand to add the --gc=boehm option?
