Hello,
I'm new in this list, but I have a question about garbage collect.
*** Is this compiler using a sort of garbage collect to solve some memory
problems ?
I wanted to use this compiler for my machine learning program.
I am using a machine learning program that runs under DOS which creates
iteratively binary trees. This program is very liberal in allocating memory
for temporal structures. This causes fragmentation of the heap, causing a
system crash. As these structures are also frequently freed, the total actual
memory usage on the time of the system crash stays limited
(so still memory available on the moment of the crash).
Currently I'm working on a solution to solve this fragmentation. One solution
is implemting a Garbage Collector. A problem is that we do not have a
standard garbage collector for C/C++ under DOS.
*** Do you have a standaard garbage collector under DOS ?
Thanks ,
