Garbage Collection: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft .NET Framework
نویسنده
چکیده
Garbage collection in the Microsoft .NET common language runtime environment completely absolves the developer from tracking memory usage and knowing when to free memory. However, you’ll want to understand how it works. Part 1 of this two-part article on .NET garbage collection explains how resources are allocated and managed, then gives a detailed step-by-step description of how the garbage collection algorithm works. Also discussed are the way resources can clean up properly when the garbage collector decides to free a resource’s memory and how to force an object to clean up when it is freed.

GCspy port to SSCLI (Rotor)
With increasing importance and complexity of memory managers, it becomes more and more important for garbage collector (GC) developers to possess the right tools capable of helping them track GC behaviour. GCspy, an adaptable and easily portable visualisation framework, was developed to answer this issue. Our aim of porting GCspy to Rotor was motivated by the desire to provide Rotor with an eff...
متن کاملExtending .NET Remoting with Distributed Garbage Collection
The memory management of distributed objects, when done manually, is an error-prone task. It leads to memory leaks and dangling references causing applications to fail. Avoiding such errors requires automatic memory management, named distributed garbage collection (DGC). Current DGC solutions are either not safe, not complete or not portable to widely used platforms such as .NET. As a matter of...

متن کاملA Customisable Memory Management Framework for C++
Automatic garbage collection relieves programmers from the burden of managing memory themselves and several techniques have been developed that make garbage collection feasible in many situations, including real time applications or within traditional programming languages. However optimal performance cannot always be achieved by a uniform general purpose solution. Sometimes an algorithm exhibi...

C Project Description Programming languages that rely on garbage collection are becoming ubiquitous. Java and C# are especially popular. Both languages provide numerous software engineering advantages over languages like C and C++. The advantages of garbage collection include safety from accidental memory overwrites, protection from security violations, and the automatic prevention of space lea...
