Compact Framework – Understanding GC/Memory management
Abhinaba from the .NET Compact Framework team has been writing a series of blog posts on the subject of Compact Framework, understanding memory allocation, garbage collection, mark/sweep vs. generational collection, and more to come!
Here’s a link to the articles – and to Abhinabas blog homepage – I really like the embedded photos on the blog (and by embedded I mean photos in the blog post, not photos of robots, medical devices and factory automation systems).
Memory allocation, a walk down the history
Reference Counting Garbage Collection
Optimizing reference counting garbage collection
Handling overflow in mark stage
Generational Garbage Collection
How does the GC find object references
More to come … :)
