Detailed Description

Implements a tracing garbage collector.

Member Function Documentation

add()

void GCMain::add

(

GCObj *

obj

)

Adds obj to all objects available.

Parameters

obj

collect()

void GCMain::collect

(

)

Collects garbage.

Use mark function of directly reachable objects (roots). Resets getCountNewObjects to 0.

getCountNewObjects()

std::size_t GCMain::getCountNewObjects ( ) const

noexcept

Returns

Returns count of new objects since last collect call.

collect

getMarkBit()

bool GCMain::getMarkBit ( ) const

noexcept

Returns

Returns status of the mark bit.

This is a 'hack'. Otherwise the algorithm would be force to reset the mark bit after every collect. But if a the markbit can be toggled (its switched the mark state after collecting), it becomes obsolete.
