Description: Garbage collecting allocator (plug-in malloc replacement)
The Boehm GC is a garbage collecting storage allocator that is
intended to be used as a plug-in replacement for C's malloc.
.
Since the collector does not require pointers to be tagged, it does
not attempt to ensure that all inaccessible storage is reclaimed.
However it has typically been more successful at reclaiming unused
memory than most C programs using explicit deallocation. Unlike
manually introduced leaks, the amount of unreclaimed memory typically
stays bounded.
