Further, the selection of garbage collectors practically available to most people is additionally limited to a subset of garbage collection algorithms that are in fact implemented. These are not garbage collected - you need to explicitly free every pointer that you allocated. Dynamic memory allocation (Java-style) is done with malloc / calloc / realloc in C. An encyclopedic reference for modern GC algorithms is “Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management” by R. Cheap The memory storage requirements of complex programs are extremely difficult to manage correctly by hand. (Similarly, malloc is not perfect either and has its issues, with multiple implementations available with different characteristics. €�…garbage collection (GC) is a form of automatic memory management. Cheap Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management sale. The access of automatic variables is a very fast assisted by hardware, so there is no loss of efficiency there. There is no actual allocation or deallocation going on: the space in the automatic memory (AKA "on the stack") is allocated by some compile-time bookkeeping around the stack pointer.
