2005-01-31 * Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporaryEelco Dolstra1-1/+3
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots while holding a write lock on that file. The garbage collector acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary roots.
2005-01-28 * Add a test to check whether concurrent garbage collection (i.e.,Eelco Dolstra1-0/+19
running the collector while builds are in progress) works correctly. The test currently fails.
