This is usually referred to as garbage collection and is the type of memory management used in Java, C#, Python, Ruby, etc, etc. If any of this was hard to understand (especially for lack of diagrams), I strongly recommend reading Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management by Richard Jones and Rafael Lins. One can measure the cost of conservative garbage collection relative to explicit memory management in C/C++ programs by linking in an appropriate collector. JavaScript is a garbage collected language, which means developers generally don't have to worry about memory management, unlike lower level programming languages. Furthermore, the simplified model requires hiding the true nature of memory making it more difficult to implement certain inter-process and concurrent programming algorithms. In the latter case, new causes the class' constructor to be called automatically. The last example with circular reference To ensure fast object allocation, short garbage collection pauses, and no memory fragmentation V8 employs a stop- the-world, generational, accurate, garbage collector. As I pointed out yesterday, with FastMM available, memory management is so much of a solved problem that it's a non-problem. Perhaps this was a decent reaction to the memory management of C, but as a whole, in general purpose languages, garbage collection is more of a detriment than a benefit. Moving object fields to an object's or record's automatic destruction list would mean moving them to FinalizeRecord, and for the life of me, I cannot understand why FinalizeRecord exists at all. This kind Yes, some naive assumptions are at fault, namely that memory has a fairly uniform, invariant cost model; unfortunately this is difficult to rectify with GC in particular, but probably not automatic memory management as a whole. CLR探索系列:Server and Workstation Garbage Collection探索(垃圾回收系列). When zombies are enabled, a deallocated object's class is dynamically changed to be _NSZombie, and by default, the memory region is never marked as free, although this can be controlled separately. (See: every implementation of garbage collection ever devised, including ARC.) This is where semantic attributes come in. We tried selecting the most commonly cited algorithms (concurrent & . This means that V8: stops program execution when . Unlike JAVA garbage collection mechanism where the memory for allocated object is automatically reclaimed by system when it goes out of scope, in iPhone framework developer need to take care of releasing the memory for the object. Automatic Dynamic Memory Management. So the garbage collector algorithm already needs to be clever about what it's doing.
