2010-03-10	Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address range	Patrik Nyblom
	This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator, a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has a non-zero value. First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range, but still store them in 64-bit words. Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.
2010-01-13	Improve binary garbage collection	Björn-Egil Dahlberg
	The garbage collector in r13b03 is too aggressive in some cases. This commit raises the level of default initial allowed binary garbage (virtual heap for binaries) before collecting from 233 words to 46368 words (181 kB on 32-bit). A new option, min_bin_vheap_size, has been added to spawn_opt, system_flag and process_flag can be used to change the default values. The option can also be used with system_info and process_info to inspect the values. For symmetry the option min_heap_size has been added to the above functions where it was previously missing. Add testcases for min_bin_vheap_size and min_heap_size for functions process_flag/2, process_info/2, system_info/2 and spawn_opt/2.
