• Are there any Python reference counting/garbage collection gotchas when dealing with C code?

  - by Jason Baker

  Just for the sheer heck of it, I've decided to create a Scheme binding to libpython so you can embed Python in Scheme programs. I'm already able to call into Python's C API, but I haven't really thought about memory management. The way mzscheme's FFI works is that I can call a function, and if that function returns a pointer to a PyObject, then I…

• Which type of data can be garbage collected when app is in background?

  - by Neoh

  Let's say I start from activity A - activity B. While in activity B I press home to exit. After a long time, gc may be called because other apps take higher priority. My question is, which of the following type of data will be garbage collected (I'm pretty sure static fields can be garbage collected any time but I'm not sure about these): i)…

• Does allocation speed depend on the garbage collector being used?

  - by jkff

  My app is allocating a ton of objects (1mln per second; most objects are byte arrays of size ~80-100 and strings of the same size) and I think it might be the source of its poor performance. The app's working set is only tens of megabytes. Profiling the app shows that GC time is negligibly small. However, I suspect that perhaps the…

• Does Objective C 2.0 garbage collection collect C structures?

  - by Ross Andrews

  What exactly does the ObjC garbage collector collect? If I'm writing a program in Objective C 2.0, and there's some C code in it, does the C code need to worry about freeing memory?

• How can I write a unit test to determine whether an object can be garbage collected?

  - by driis

  In relation to my previous question, I need to check whether a component that will be instantiated by Castle Windsor, can be garbage collected after my code has finished using it. I have tried the suggestion in the answers from the previous question, but it does not seem to work as expected, at least for my code. So I would like to…

• Are C or C++ The Only Viable Languages for a GC

  - by user95312

  Background I have just finished writing a compiler for a functional language compiling to the JVM as a learning project. However, since I'm just doing this to learn, I thought it might be interesting to write a native backend and a RTS for it. As I've been planning out what this new backend will look like, the one point I'm…

• Why is free() not allowed in garbage-collected languages?

  - by sundar

  I was reading the C# entry on Wikipedia, and came across: Managed memory cannot be explicitly freed; instead, it is automatically garbage collected. Why is it that in languages with automatic memory management, manual management isn't even allowed? I can see that in most cases it wouldn't be necessary, but wouldn't it…

• What's a good library to do computational geometry (like CGAL) in a garbage-collected language?

  - by Squash Monster

  I need a library to handle computational geometry in a project, especially boolean operations, but just about every feature is useful. The best library I can find for this is CGAL, but this is the sort of project I would hesitate to make without garbage collection. What language/library pairs can you recommend? So far my…

• How can I find out at runtime what garbage collection algorithm is configured in my JVM?

  I have an instance of Tomcat 6.0.18 running on Sun's Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM build 1.6.0_14-b08. Is there any way for me to find out what garbage collection algorithm the JVM is using to run my web application?

• In .NET, will cleaning a nested dictionaries parent release all memory upon garbage collection?

  I have the following nested dictionaries: Dictionary<int, Dictionary<string, object>> x; Dictionary<int, SortedDictionary<long, Dictionary<string, object>>> y; If I do x.Clear() and y.Clear() will all the nested objects clear and all the memory will be reused on the next garbage…

• How do I get .NET to garbage collect aggressively?

  - by mmr

  I have an application that is used in image processing, and I find myself typically allocating arrays in the 4000x4000 ushort size, as well as the occasional float and the like. Currently, the .NET framework tends to crash in this app apparently randomly, almost always with an out of memory error. …

• What garbage collection algorithms do all 5 major browsers use?

  - by Martin Wittemann

  I am currently rethinking the object dispose handling of the qooxdoo JavaScript framework. Have a look at the following diagram (A is currently in scope): Let's say we want to delete B. Generally, we cut all reference between all objects. This means we cut connection 1 to 5 in the example. Is…

• Does invoking System.gc() in java suggest garbage collection of the tenured generation as well as th

  - by Markus Jevring

  When invoking System.gc() in java (via JMX), it will dutifully (attempt to) clean the young generation. This generally works very well. I have never seen it attempt to clean the tenured generation, though. This leads me to two questions: Can the tenured generation even be collected (i.e. is…

• How does the Garbage Collector decide when to kill objects held by WeakReferences?

  - by Kennet Belenky

  I have an object, which I believe is held only by a WeakReference. I've traced its reference holders using SOS and SOSEX, and both confirm that this is the case (I'm not an SOS expert, so I could be wrong on this point). The standard explanation of WeakReferences is that the GC ignores them…

• Does Objective-C have garbage collector on the iPhone?

  - by user208662

  Hello, I'm thinking of writing an app for the iphone. But I'm confused in regards to the objective-c language. Am I correct in saying that I have to do my own memory management? Is Objective-C a managed language such as C# and/or Java? Thank you!

• How common are circular references? Would reference-counting GC work just fine?

  - by user9521

  How common are circular references? The less common they are, the fewer hard cases you have if you are writing in a language with only reference counting-GC. Are there any cases where it wouldn't work well to make one of the references a "weak" reference so that reference…

• Why did the team at LMAX use Java and design the architecture to avoid GC at all cost?

  Why did the team at LMAX design the LMAX Disruptor in Java but all their design points to minimizing GC use? If one does not want to have GC run then why use a garbage collected language? Their optimizations, the level of hardware knowledge and the thought they put are…

• Can I trigger PHP garbage collection to happen automatically if I have circular references?

  - by Beau Simensen

  I seem to recall a way to setup the __destruct for a class in such a way that it would ensure that circular references would be cleaned up as soon as the outside object falls out of scope. However, the simple test I built seems to indicate that this is not behaving as I…
