Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management Rafael D Lins, Richard Jones
Publisher: Wiley

If even reference counting is too tedious for you, then maybe you want garbage collection, which almost completely eliminates manual memory management — but garbage collection is way outside the scope of this article. One technique which can make memory management a lot easier is reference counting, which this article is about. JavaScript is a garbage collected language, which means developers generally don't have to worry about memory management, unlike lower level programming languages. So the garbage collector algorithm already needs to be clever about what it's doing. Thankfully, modern languages with automatic garbage collection avoid this problem (by pretending it doesn't exist). In the latter case, new causes the class' constructor to be called automatically. You either have to explicitly delete the objects (if in dynamic storage) or they will be deleted automagically (but not by the garbage collector) if in automatic storage.

The last example with circular reference To ensure fast object allocation, short garbage collection pauses, and no memory fragmentation V8 employs a stop- the-world, generational, accurate, garbage collector. Garbage collection in Java is the processes of freeing the dynamic memory used by objects that are no longer being used by an application. Further, the selection of garbage collectors practically available to most people is additionally limited to a subset of garbage collection algorithms that are in fact implemented. (Similarly, malloc is not perfect either and has its issues, with multiple implementations available with different characteristics. I'll explain what it is, how it (A dynamic array automatically expands when adding new elements, unlike a normal C array.) Here's the . This means that V8: stops program execution when . Something that is worth looking into is smart pointers (there C++ uses RAII ( Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) programming idiom, there is nothing like automatic memory management known as Garbage Collector in java or AutoZone in Objective-C 2.
