# The devel/boehm-gc port

## boehm-gc-7.6.0p6 – garbage collection and memory leak detection for C and C++

## Description

    The Boehm-Weiser garbage collection package, for C and C++ -
    garbage collection and memory leak detection libraries.

    A garbage collector is something which automatically frees malloc'd
    memory for you by working out what parts of memory your program
    no longer has pointers to. As a result, garbage collectors can also
    inform you of memory leaks (if they find memory they can free, it means
    you have lost all of your pointers to it, but you didn't free it).

    C programs should run without change. C++ programs must include a header
    to use garbage collection. See the man page and header files.
