Don't know if this can work without NO_UNION_TYPE. + +Might be worth allowing XGC_MALLOC to allocate using mmap (in an +already-dumped Emacs), since the address doesn't have to fit into +EMACS_INT and that might save significant allocation in precious Lisp +address space. Should be able to do similarly with string data. |
