| SUMMARY = "A garbage collector for C and C++" |
| |
| DESCRIPTION = "The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be\ |
| used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows\ |
| you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly\ |
| deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically\ |
| recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise\ |
| accessed.\ |
| The collector is also used by a number of programming language\ |
| implementations that either use C as intermediate code, want to facilitate\ |
| easier interoperation with C libraries, or just prefer the simple collector\ |
| interface.\ |
| Alternatively, the garbage collector may be used as a leak detector for C\ |
| or C++ programs, though that is not its primary goal.\ |
| Empirically, this collector works with most unmodified C programs, simply\ |
| by replacing malloc with GC_malloc calls, replacing realloc with GC_realloc\ |
| calls, and removing free calls." |
