This list has recently carried discussion of garbage collection, and
version 1.9.3 includes the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector.
There is newly-published paper that suggests there may be a better
alternative:
Precise Garbage Collection for C
Jon Rafkind, Adam Wick, John Regehr & Matthew Flatt
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/papers/ismm15-rafkind.pdf
This is an outgrowth of Adam Wick's 2006 Ph.D. thesis from the
University of Utah, "Magpie: Precise Garbage Collection for C".
[Disclaimer: although we are at the same institution, I do not
personally know any of the authors.]
