Re: iPhone vs Android

[angel via Digitalmars-d]

I think the conclusions about iOS vs. Android OS-level memory 
collection are not applicable to D GC discussion.
An OS collects all the memory pages allocated for a process upon 
exit - no heap scan, no RC. It more resembles a one huge free() 
call.
The discussion is mainly about eager vs. less-eager 
not-currently-running process killing strategy.
D's GC lies in a different plane ...
