patrickb Is there a way to GC unroot an address I've added earlier? 23:00
I want to put an object into a frame further down the call stack. IIUC I need to root the address the moment I set it. But then how to I unroot it once the frame is popped some time later? 23:03

patrickb Technically I could search through the entire call stack on every GC for those objects, but I guess that's slower than rooting when set and unrooting on frame unwind. 23:19
I have just found MVM_callstack_mark_current_thread. I guess that answers that question. 23:29
I think it's not technically wrong to GC mark random addresses. But is it bad performance wise? I just noticed that frame->extra->exit_handler_result is unconditionally marked. 23:39
