Project Description

The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It is also used by a number of programming language implementations that use C as intermediate code. Alternatively, it may be used as a leak detector for C or C++ programs. A slightly older version of the garbage collector is also included as part of the GNU compiler (gcc) distribution.

data in the heap is now counted, helping to make

local allocation support was enhanced. Some
obsolete platform support such as old-style
Solaris threads was removed. Some new platform
support was added. Various bugs were fixed.
