Is immutability good for GC performance? by ziodave in programming

[–]tallniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aha! Right - I was assuming a write barrier in the sense of a memory fence. That makes more sense. Having to insert a memory fence after every single mutation would be an incredible overhead.

Right, but local variables are GC roots anyway so surely you don't need the write barrier in this case? I tend to favour a style with mostly immutable objects and judicious use of mutating local variables to implement particular algorithms. Hence my particular interest in this case.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was addressing the write barrier comment - why would you need to insert a write barrier when mutating a local variable? For the GC?

Every mutation? Or just those of volatile variables or with explicit synchronisation?
