+
+This GC leverages the ``gc.statepoint`` mechanism to support the
+`CoreCLR <https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr>`__ runtime.
+
+Support for this GC strategy is a work in progress. This strategy will
+differ from
+:ref:`statepoint-example GC<statepoint_example_gc>` strategy in
+certain aspects like:
+
+* Base-pointers of interior pointers are not explicitly
+ tracked and reported.
+
+* A different format is used for encoding stack maps.
+
+* Safe-point polls are only needed before loop-back edges
+ and before tail-calls (not needed at function-entry).
