Re: Simpler Garbage Collection

[Helge Hess]

Hi,

I'm not sure whats wrong with the BoehmGC implementation. Its fast and  
efficient, it works very well, and it can be easily made interoperable  
with RC (if thats really required).

A big problem with Foundation RC is that the reference count is  
managed using methods (-retain/-release), which is pretty slow.

Greets,
  Helge

PS: libFoundation actually contains a GC which works on top of the  
regular RC and can be used to detect cycles.
