I have yet to find a comprehensive description of the various data representations used for garbage collection. This isn't an overview of garbage collection algorithms, but an overview of how to distinguish pointers from other values and how to traverse the data structures, which has seemingly gotten only a short riff in the literature. I aim to give an in-depth overview of the techniques I've come across or managed to puzzle out on my own.
