config/auto/gc.pm - Garbage Collection

Sets memory allocator.
The --gc command-line option enables the configurer to choose among several garbage collectors.
Current available options are:
Stop-the-world mark & sweep
Infinite memory "collector"
New style mark & sweep
Generational M&S based on MS2
The choice is stored as gc_type in %PConfig,
and available (uppercased) as PARROT_GC_DEFAULT_TYPE in parrot/config.h
For backwards compatibility with parrot 3.1.0 and earlier,
an empty entry gc_flag is maintained.
(It used to be used in Makefiles to append to the C compiler flags.)
