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?

Fenichel, R.R. and Yochelson, J.C., A LISP garbage-collector for virtual-memory computer systems, Communications of the ACM, vol. 12, no. 11, pp. 611-612, 1969 --Philippe 09:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recursion

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)[reply]
