Sorry. I meant does Webkit on MacOS X uses 'reference counted or
garbage collected' memory management?
Both.
For Objective-C objects it uses whatever mode of memory management
the host application chooses. This is also how Mac OS X system
frameworks like AppKit behave.
For its own non-Objective-C objects it uses both reference counting
and garbage collection.
And the underlying WebCore C++ code uses both "manual" new/delete, and
reference counting via the RefPtr class.
