41 | (description | |
42 | "The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used | |
43 | as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows | |
44 | you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without | |
45 | explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector | |
46 | automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer | |
47 | be otherwise accessed. | |
48 | ||
49 | The collector is also used by a number of programming language | |
50 | implementations that either use C as intermediate code, want to | |
51 | facilitate easier interoperation with C libraries, or just prefer the | |
52 | simple collector interface. | |
53 | ||
54 | Alternatively, the garbage collector may be used as a leak detector for | |
55 | C or C++ programs, though that is not its primary goal.") | |
