2
3DESCRIPTION = "The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be\
4 used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows\
5 you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly\
6 deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically\
7 recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise\
8 accessed.\
9 The collector is also used by a number of programming language\
10 implementations that either use C as intermediate code, want to facilitate\
11 easier interoperation with C libraries, or just prefer the simple collector\
12 interface.\
13 Alternatively, the garbage collector may be used as a leak detector for C\
14 or C++ programs, though that is not its primary goal.\
15 Empirically, this collector works with most unmodified C programs, simply\
16 by replacing malloc with GC_malloc calls, replacing realloc with GC_realloc\
17 calls, and removing free calls."
