Use Cases for Garbage Collection in C++
- Object oriented programming - reference based objects
- Functional programming - avoiding copies of immutable objects
- Trash collection - preventing bad code from crashing or exhausting memory or address space.
Analysis of Each Use Case
- Current solutions - reference counting and pooled memory
- Look at what happens with reference counting with move semantics
- For trash collection - sight issues with trash and reference counted systems [I had a good one recently - can't find it at the moment - bug easy to google for.]
Complexity of Current GC for C++ Design
- Type qualifiers vs. modifiers for gc_strict and gc_relaxed
