Boehm Garbage collector is the most widely used. Its portable and on every distribution I can think of. This is due to even gcc embeds the boehm garbage collector in itself. Anyway, this ought to kill some of those memory flaws; let the garbage collector handle it.

It is time to add garbage collection. I'll submit some patches and I'll file a bug. Btw, ask the list if they want the bug tracker mailing them.

I saw your patch. How does it work. Is there some automagic garbage collector hidden in gc/gc.h?


Seems to be referring to the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector... save you
some Google time, here's a few pertinent and interesting links. There's Debian
packages for this thing, too, so it does meet one of IC&S library criteria ;-)
