1. [Compilation and Installation](#compilation-and-installation)
Directory Roadmap
=================
+* `acceptance-tests/` - Optional third party test suites used to validate Mono against a wider range of test cases.
+
* `data/` - Configuration files installed as part of the Mono runtime.
* `docs/` - Technical documents about the Mono runtime.
* `--with-gc=[included, boehm, none]` - Selects the default Boehm
garbage collector engine to use.
- * *included*: (*slighty modified Boehm GC*) This is the default
+ * *included*: (*slightly modified Boehm GC*) This is the default
value for the Boehm GC, and it's the most feature complete, it will
allow Mono to use typed allocations and support the debugger.
* This defaults to `included`.
+* `--with-cooperative-gc`
+
+ * If you pass this flag the Mono runtime is configured to only use
+ the cooperative mode of the garbage collector. If you do not pass
+ this flag, then you can control at runtime the use of the
+ cooperative GC mode by setting the `MONO_ENABLE_COOP` flag.
+
* `--with-tls=__thread,pthread`
* Controls how Mono should access thread local storage,
multiple CPUs to do its work. This helps performance
on multi-CPU machines as the work is divided across CPUS.
- * This option is not currently the default as we have
-not done much testing with Mono.
+ * This option is not currently the default on OSX
+as it runs into issues there.
+
+ * This option only applies to the Boehm GC.
* `--enable-dtrace`
The desired output diff is a change in `.gitmodules` to reflect the
change in the remote URL, and a change in /<submodule> where you see
the desired change in the commit hash.
