What is the difference between Cheney's garbage collector and the one proposed a year earlier by Fenichel? Why do we have an article on Cheney and not on Fenichel?

- Is this algorithm recursive? Will it copy objects refererred to by something referred to by something referenced from the stack? If so, it is not described that way. -- Beland 17:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
