Subject: C++ and garbage collection
Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:25:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110204194604.GB12837@nibiru.local> (raw)


Hi folks,


I'm currently working on an complex C++ application (which I, if it
would have to be rewritten from scratch, would do in Java instead ;-o)
and I wonder whether it's possible to move to an garbage collection
in smaller steps. For now there're some parts using some "autopointer"
class (didn't deeply look into it, but I guess it's overloading
the pointer operations and doing some reference counting, which
of course isn't generally complete - would keep ring structures
forever ;-o).

My idea is to add some mark+sweep gc (boem-gc ?) and remove (or
somehow disable) all delete operations. Does that work safely,
or do I have to cope with certain nasty side effects ?


thx
