+C++ Interface to the Boehm Collector
+
+ John R. Ellis and Jesse Hull
+ Last modified on Mon Jul 24 15:43:42 PDT 1995 by ellis
+
+This interface provides access to the Boehm collector. It provides
+basic facilities similar to those described in "Safe, Efficient
+Garbage Collection for C++", by John R. Elis and David L. Detlefs
+(ftp.parc.xerox.com:/pub/ellis/gc).
+
+All heap-allocated objects are either "collectable" or
+"uncollectable". Programs must explicitly delete uncollectable
+objects, whereas the garbage collector will automatically delete
+collectable objects when it discovers them to be inaccessible.
+Collectable objects may freely point at uncollectable objects and vice
+versa.
+
+Objects allocated with the built-in "::operator new" are uncollectable.
+
+Objects derived from class "gc" are collectable. For example:
+
+ class A: public gc {...};
+ A* a = new A; // a is collectable.
+
+Collectable instances of non-class types can be allocated using the GC
+placement:
+
+ typedef int A[ 10 ];
+ A* a = new (GC) A;
+
+Uncollectable instances of classes derived from "gc" can be allocated
+using the NoGC placement:
+
+ class A: public gc {...};
+ A* a = new (NoGC) A; // a is uncollectable.
+
+Both uncollectable and collectable objects can be explicitly deleted
+with "delete", which invokes an object's destructors and frees its
+storage immediately.
+
+A collectable object may have a clean-up function, which will be
+invoked when the collector discovers the object to be inaccessible.
+An object derived from "gc_cleanup" or containing a member derived
+from "gc_cleanup" has a default clean-up function that invokes the
+object's destructors. Explicit clean-up functions may be specified as
+an additional placement argument:
+
+ A* a = ::new (GC, MyCleanup) A;
+
+An object is considered "accessible" by the collector if it can be
+reached by a path of pointers from static variables, automatic
+variables of active functions, or from some object with clean-up
+enabled; pointers from an object to itself are ignored.
+
+Thus, if objects A and B both have clean-up functions, and A points at
+B, B is considered accessible. After A's clean-up is invoked and its
+storage released, B will then become inaccessible and will have its
+clean-up invoked. If A points at B and B points to A, forming a
+cycle, then that's considered a storage leak, and neither will be
+collectable. See the interface gc.h for low-level facilities for
+handling such cycles of objects with clean-up.
+
+The collector cannot guarrantee that it will find all inaccessible
+objects. In practice, it finds almost all of them.
+
+
+Cautions:
+
+1. Be sure the collector has been augmented with "make c++".
+
+2. If your compiler supports the new "operator new[]" syntax, then
+add -DOPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to the Makefile.
+
+If your compiler doesn't support "operator new[]", beware that an
+array of type T, where T is derived from "gc", may or may not be
+allocated as a collectable object (it depends on the compiler). Use
+the explicit GC placement to make the array collectable. For example:
+
+ class A: public gc {...};
+ A* a1 = new A[ 10 ]; // collectable or uncollectable?
+ A* a2 = new (GC) A[ 10 ]; // collectable
+
+3. The destructors of collectable arrays of objects derived from
+"gc_cleanup" will not be invoked properly. For example:
+
+ class A: public gc_cleanup {...};
+ A* a = new (GC) A[ 10 ]; // destructors not invoked correctly
+
+Typically, only the destructor for the first element of the array will
+be invoked when the array is garbage-collected. To get all the
+destructors of any array executed, you must supply an explicit
+clean-up function:
+
+ A* a = new (GC, MyCleanUp) A[ 10 ];
+
+(Implementing clean-up of arrays correctly, portably, and in a way
+that preserves the correct exception semantics requires a language
+extension, e.g. the "gc" keyword.)
+
+4. Compiler bugs:
+
+* Solaris 2's CC (SC3.0) doesn't implement t->~T() correctly, so the
+destructors of classes derived from gc_cleanup won't be invoked.
+You'll have to explicitly register a clean-up function with
+new-placement syntax.
+
+* Evidently cfront 3.0 does not allow destructors to be explicitly
+invoked using the ANSI-conforming syntax t->~T(). If you're using
+cfront 3.0, you'll have to comment out the class gc_cleanup, which
+uses explicit invocation.
