Definitely not true. I've been using Boehm GC with my C/C++ programs for decades — since the 90s, at least.
replyExcept for:
reply- Me. I'm a C++ programmer.
- Any C++ programmer who has added a GC to their C++ program. (Like the programmers who used the web browser you're using right now.)
- Folks who are already using Fil-C.
I’m also a C++ programmer, I can’t even use half of the C++ stdlib for real time thread work, I certainly can’t use a GC.
replyThere are many C++ programmers and we are not the same!
replyMy original foray into GCs was making real time ones, and the Fil-C GC is based on that work. I haven’t fully made it real time friendly (the few locks it has aren’t RT-friendly) but if I had more time I could make it give you hard guarantees.
It’s already full concurrent and on the fly, so it won’t pause you
