[Scilab-Dev] Future change in the Scilab memory representation.

[Jonathan Blanchard]

Waa cool no more stack?

How is it going to work? Garbage collector, custom memory allocation?

Also does this mean that we could allocate more memory than the amount
of physical memory?

Anyways Thank you for the answer.
