New Message on dotNET User Group Hyd GC Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 4 in Discussion From: Anand Kumar UDAY, Its nice to share your thought, let me put my thought on this garbage collector must be able to identify an application's roots and must also be able to find all object pointers. The problem with C++ is that it allows casting a pointer from one type to another, and there's no way to know what a pointer refers to. In the common language runtime, the managed heap always knows the actual type of an object, and the metadata information is used to determine which members of an object refer to other objects.Thats why its very difficult to have GC in ANSI  C++.   Cheers Anand Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] View other groups in this category.
