Writing a .NET Garbage Collector in C#  -  Part 1

Read Original

This article details the first steps in creating a custom Garbage Collector (GC) for .NET using C# and NativeAOT. It explains the limitations of using managed code for a GC, the need for NativeAOT to bypass CLR dependencies, and provides initial code for the required standalone GC API functions (GC_Initialize and GC_VersionInfo). The project is presented as a learning exercise to understand .NET GC internals, not for production use.
