Assembly language debates which came before them, it's hard to argue in favor of tedious bookkeeping when there's an automatic solution. C++ supports dynamic memory allocation with the help of new and delete. Garbage Collection does exactly what it's more fancier name “Automatic dynamic memory management” suggests. Unlike other languages, however, C++ does not support automatic memory management or any kind of garbage collection. It doesn't support automatic garbage collection, one of the most important features introduced in Java. It's been helpful for me in revealing errors in deallocating memory in the wrong place when dealing with class inheritance and dynamic binding, for instance. It is merely a tool that can assist in debugging it. I've written a very basic dynamic memory allocation class which ensures that any dynamically allocated memory is automatically deallocated when the program ends, essentially providing a basic garbage collection feature. Manual memory management debates ended years ago. There are several methods to deal with the lack of automated resource management, is not a fail-safe method for memory management. As I discussed in my last post on Memory Allocation dynamic memory is hard to manage One of the duty of a GC system is to automate this process by tracking down (using various algorithms) such objects and reclaim the memory used by them automatically. What makes python particularly attractive for scientist and engineers is that it is open-source, highly portable, intuitive to use, and features dynamic and strong typing. Moving object fields to an object's or record's automatic destruction list would mean moving them to FinalizeRecord, and for the life of me, I cannot understand why FinalizeRecord exists at all. €�…garbage collection (GC) is a form of automatic memory management. Now we use Python, Ruby, Java, Javascript, Erlang, and C#, and enjoy the Data-size optimization in dynamic languages is the new cycle counting. I used to read article like the one on C++ User Journal about the “The Rule of Three” or rule of thumb like if you dynamically allocate memory you need the Rule of Three. An alternate approach to memory management that is now commonly utilized, especially by most modern object-oriented languages, is automatic management by a program called a garbage collector“ There are various Garbage Collection algorithms and each platform implements its own. It provides both interactive and script based programming environments like MATLAB. (See: every implementation of garbage collection ever devised, including ARC.) This is where semantic attributes come in. As I pointed out yesterday, with FastMM available, memory management is so much of a solved problem that it's a non-problem.
