RE: [aus-dotnet] A Comparison of .NET and Java GC

[William Luu]

Bernard,

Personally that sounds like comparing how .NET implements a String and how
Java implements a String. 

It's based around quite similar ideas. 

Have a read of these blog entries by Paul Wilson: 

".NET Memory Management and Garbage Collection" -
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2004/02/14/73033.aspx
".NET GC Myth #1 - Set Object to Null" -
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2004/02/20/77422.aspx
".NET GC Myth #2 - The GC Frees Memory" -
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2004/02/20/77429.aspx
".NET GC Best Practice - ALWAYS Call Dispose" -
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2004/02/20/77435.aspx

".NET GC is Excellent - Better Than Java" -
http://weblogs.asp.net/pwilson/archive/2004/02/20/77448.aspx

Ok, first 4 probably not exactly what you're after, but the last one is an
interesting read. First 4 may give those asking about the GC a bit more info
on it.

Didn't really find much else on the topic. Hrm... I haven't done anything
before on the Java GC end of things, so don't really have anything to say on
it. Done a little on the .NET GC side of things though. Most of which are
outlined in the webpage Serdar Kilic posted.

Hi guys,

Have anyone seen any articles comparing the GC in .NET and Java?

This is just for info sake, not an assignment topic :P

Been googling for awhile but Im getting only 1 sided articles, cant find
a side by side comparison kinda paper :)
