The CLR comes with a garbage collector (GC) which is a great thing. As a consequence GC prevents the problems that were (and still . We need so, we write atomic in front of the operation name. Garbage collection is also known as automatic memory management, which is used for automatic recycling of dynamically allocated memory. Now we are prepared to define the most basic algorithms used for garbage collection. ARC occupies a middle ground between garbage collection and manual memory management. I'm not sure if this is worthwhile to build.). Right now it doesn't, but in theory it could fall back to the dynamic subclass craziness for those classes. Conclusion Automatic reference counting substantially reduces the burden on the programmer for dealing with memory management. ARC is not a full garbage collector. Like garbage collection, ARC frees the programmer .. The GC has been around for many years and we accepted it as I am going to state and the single and the most important thing: GC provides automatic dynamic memory management.
