Does plugins support ARC/ORC?

Open Riderfighter opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Hello, I was wondering how well the plugins library works with ARC and if you were looking to support it?

I noticed that in the plugin source you say that it needs to use the Boehm GC but with improvements in the ARC/ORC gcs I was wondering if you are going to be supporting them.

p.s. I couldn't add a label :L

I've tried this multiple times over the last several months and there's many memory issues with arc across exe/dll boundaries. I won't say I know how to fix this yet since I'm unable to make a minimal example for Araq to debug.

I've submitted an issue with Nim for this - https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/15202.

Thank you for keeping me up to date, I hope that the memory issues get resolved, your package has a really nice API that I feel would work great with the new GC.
