  • Thread-topic: Question about garbage collector and memory management
Dear all,

I'm a PhD student at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa.
I'm planning to use CycloneDDS for some research, and I would like to get a better grasp about the need/benefits of using a garbage collector.

Unfortunately, I could not find any on-line document illustrating the rationale of this design decision.
I also wonder if there was some prior study about pros/cons of this approach for memory management, especially with respect to introduced latency/overhead.

Could you please help by providing some clue about:

      1) What are the main factors that inspired a design using garbage collector?
      2) Which are the pros (and maybe the cons) with respect to memory management based on different approaches (e.g. reference counting)?

Many thanks and best regards,

-Gerlando
