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

Unlike other languages, however, C++ does not support automatic memory management or any kind of garbage collection. An alternate approach to memory management that is now commonly utilized, especially by most modern object-oriented languages, is automatic management by a program called a garbage collector. Garbage Collection does exactly what it's more fancier name “Automatic dynamic memory management” suggests. GC basically attempts to take care of two basic scenarios remove garbage and avoid dangling pointers. But, to start off with, what is garbage collection? Since are using a selector to call a method dynamically at runtime, ARC doesn't really know if the method called returns a +1 retained object or a auto-released object. Before going to the details, let's briefly .. It's been helpful for me in revealing errors in deallocating memory in the wrong place when dealing with class inheritance and dynamic binding, for instance. One of the duty of a GC system is to automate this process by tracking down (using various algorithms) such objects and reclaim the memory used by them automatically. There are several methods to deal with the lack of automated resource management, is not a fail-safe method for memory management. Garbage collection is a system of automatic memory management. Compiler level feature; Also a run time Memory management can be broadly classified into two, garbage collected and reference counted models. As I discussed in my last coder from the hard task. As I discussed in my last post on Memory Allocation dynamic memory is hard to manage One of the duty of a GC system is to automate this process by tracking down (using various algorithms) such objects and reclaim the memory used by them automatically. Automatic memory management enables increased The main problem for most dynamic memory allocation algorithms is to avoid fragmentation (see below), while keeping both allocation and deallocation efficient. Creating lots of objects also has the side effect of generating garbage collection.
