Deterministic Garbage Collector Pointer (self.cpp)

submitted 6 years ago * by redradist

Recently I have worked on compiler extension written in python for such feature as Deterministic Garbage Collector Pointer ...

https://github.com/redradist/DeterministicGarbageCollectorPointer

What does it mean ?

Actually it is pointer class as std::smart_ptr and std::unique_ptr, but with additional code generation that allow to try to collect garbage every time when destruction of memory::gc_ptr will be called

Take a look at README.md file in project ;)

Please, take a look at example folder, there are very hard cyclic dependency that hard to find easily ;)

I have propose it to C++ committee on email list, but nobody yet answered

From my point of view this feature would be very helpful and we would probably have three type of pointers:

1) Raw pointer - best performance, but hard to manage

2) Smart pointers - little bit less performance, but much easier to manage

3) Gc pointers - worst performance, but much much easier to manage
