Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management Rafael D Lins, Richard Jones
Publisher: Wiley

(read [13] for a mark-sweep algorithm) but it is probably not worth the effort using such a sophisticated algorithm if you are mixing in your program C++ code with other high level scripting language where garbage collection is implemented natively. This is usually referred to as garbage collection and is the type of memory management used in Java, C#, Python, Ruby, etc, etc. This happens when distinct dynamic libraries are linked with the static library version of the CRT. One technique which can make memory management a lot easier is reference counting, which this article is about. Automatic garbage collection is the feature of dynamic languages which most reduces programmer headaches. Like garbage collection, ARC frees the programmer .. Of course depending on the implementation it can lead to less memory efficiency than hand coded C or C++. ARC is not a full garbage collector. Conclusion Automatic reference counting substantially reduces the burden on the programmer for dealing with memory management. If even reference counting is too tedious for you, then maybe you want garbage collection, which almost completely eliminates manual memory management — but garbage collection is way outside the scope of this article. Emoticon:cat In my post about ShedSkin a couple of days ago I said that I was unsure how ShedSkin handled memory management and whether it has any sort of garbage collection. This article discovers how memory management is more than tracking where your malloc() and free() are located. Automatic Dynamic Memory Management. I'll explain what it is, how it (A dynamic array automatically expands when adding new elements, unlike a normal C array.) Here's the . ARC occupies a middle ground between garbage collection and manual memory management. ShedSkin Part II: Garbage Collection and Memory Management. I'm not sure if this is worthwhile to build.). Right now it doesn't, but in theory it could fall back to the dynamic subclass craziness for those classes.
