Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management Rafael D Lins, Richard Jones
Publisher: Wiley

Collection techniques from 1992. Flex will take care of any auto bindings created with the [Bindable] meta data. Memory management and garbage collection in Flash Player is a well debated topic. Some think that the Flash player's references to your object. A computer's memory storage and management is also handled by the operating system. The first topic I'm covering is memory management as this area is often cited as the killer reason to use a garbage collected runtime over a native language like C++. Com: Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management : Richard Jones, Rafael D Lins: Books. You probably heard, read or even learned that Flex was managing the memory automatically for you, does it mean you don't have any responsibility regarding memory management in Flex? €�…garbage collection (GC) is a form of automatic memory management. Then, follow up with the Jones and Lins book “Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management”. There is a delete operator in Flex, but it's only for freeing dynamic properties, not for deleting objects. Many modern languages such as C# and Java provide garbage collection, in which the system automatically identifies memory that is no longer accessible by the program and releases it back to the memory manager. It will give you the basic understanding and terminology on GC. Creating lots of objects also has the side effect of generating garbage collection. C++, Dynamic Memory and Automatic Variables. Furthermore, the simplified model requires hiding the true nature of memory making it more difficult to implement certain inter-process and concurrent programming algorithms. Memory management in Flex using garbage collection, responsibilities it puts on developers, classical causes of memory leaks and good practices to avoid them. 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.
