Description

Book Synopsis
Modern software places increasing reliance on dynamic memory allocation, but its direct management is not only notoriously error--prone. Garbage collection eliminates many of these bugs. This reference presents each of the most important algorithms in detail, often with illustrations of its characteristic features and animations of its use.

Reference Counting.

Mark-Sweep Garbage Collection.

Mark-Compact Garbage Collection.

Copying Garbage Collection.

Generational Garbage Collection.

Incremental and Concurrent Garbage Collection.
