[MLton-devel] allocating space for IntInf primitives

[Henry Cejtin]

I don't have any strong disagreement to changing the IntInf stuff back to the
old style, but I claim that unless it is  hard,  it  is  probably  better  to
initially  allocate  all  IntInf's in the nursery.  My argument is that their
life expectancy is always low, even if they are huge.

When I say `hard' above, I'm thinking that if the nursery is too small,  then
I probably wouldn't worry and would put them in the older generation.  Still,
I really think that even big  bignums  are  short  lived,  usually  they  are
intermediate results which are going to go dead almost instantly.
