Garbage collection Libraries in C++ [closed]

Answer 1

Here's a commercial product I found in just looking for this same thing

Back in the day, there was also a product called Great Circle from Geodesic Systems, but doesn't look like they sell that anymore. No idea if the sold the product to anyone else.

Answer 2

I have used the Boehm collector in the past with good success. It's open source and can be used in commercial software.

It's a conservative collector, and has a long history of development by one of the foremost researchers in garbage collection technology.

Answer 3

Boost has a great range of smart pointers which impliment reference counting or delete-on-scope exit or intrusive reference counting. These have proven enough for our needs. A big plus is that it is all free, open source, templated C++. because it is reference counting, in most cases it is highly deterministic when an object gets destroyed.
