# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| gc: gc (Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector) gc: gc: The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used gc: as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It gc: allows you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, gc: without explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The gc: collector automatically recycles memory when it determines that it gc: can no longer be otherwise accessed. gc: gc: Homepage: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/ gc:
