4.37 Garbage collection and Objective-C

garbage collection memory allocation

Note that Boehm's conservative garbage collector from ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/gc/ works great with Objective-C, so you can use GC also with the other compilers.

That GC could be enhanced a little by taking advantage of the Objective-C runtime type information; the hooks are there for it.
