| 2 | |
| 3 | DESCRIPTION = "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." |
