[LispM-Hackers] Do we need a read barrier to support e3 GC?

Well, I'm certainly not very knowledgable about the ED GC, but  in
section 10, the SSDN2 certainly talks about a read barrier for
detecting Oldspace references. So, I fear the answer to your question
is yes.

Does anybody know of a detailed explanation of the boot process of an
E2? I read the SSDN2, but it is not that clear to me, how the process
happens. And I still have to read the e3 C++ sources in more
detail. I'd rather wish they were in lisp. I' d much prefer to do the
emulator in Common Lisp - well, maybe I will try.
