Garbage collectionEdit
Redirected from GC
Garbage Collection, often abbreviated to "GC", is a form of automated memory management in which the programmer doesn’t need to explicitly release or free allocated memory.
Many interpreted languages like Ruby and Perl, as well as compiled languages like Java, feature Garbage Collection. In Objective-C 2.0, new in Leopard, Apple added optional Garbage Collection to the Objective-C language.
