OCaml GC Pacing

Current OCaml GC logic

I'm going to make the following simplifying assumptions:

• There aren't many custom_alloc_custom_mem blocks (caml_dependent_size ~= 0)

• There aren't many caml_alloc_custom blocks with nonzero mem/max

Are all functions continuous?

Mathematical background

Brouwer's statement "all functions are continuous" can be formulated without reference to topology as follows.

Definition: A functional f : (N → N) → N is continuous at a : N → N when there exists m : N such that, for all b : N → N, if ∀ k < m, a k = b k then f a = f b.
