State of development on newgc_split

[baszalmstra]

I just noticed you've been working on a new garbage collector for LuaJIT. I tried building the repo on windows but got a few errors regarding some missing defines (LJ_GC_ARENA_SIZE and LJ_GC_FIXED).

We are heavy users of LuaJIT in our games but are noticing garbage collection spikes more and more often as our games grow larger. I was wondering whether this new garbage collector would reduce this issue (I find it very hard to debug these spikes).

Could you maybe talk a little bit about your plans and state of development of your implementation?

That branch won't build its just preparation work to combine my work with corsixs branch. His branch kind of works but has some crash bugs.

Awesome! Is there a place where I can keep track of any progress?
