-for C and C++")
- (description
- "The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used
-as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows
-you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without
-explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector
-automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer
-be otherwise accessed.
-
-The collector is also used by a number of programming language
-implementations that either use C as intermediate code, want to
-facilitate easier interoperation with C libraries, or just prefer the
-simple collector interface.
-
-Alternatively, the garbage collector may be used as a leak detector for
-C or C++ programs, though that is not its primary goal.")
