I'll admit it's been a few years since I
last investigated this but my understanding is that C++ garbage
collectors are all extremely limited in their ability to actually work
with real-world code. Especially if you commit the sin of calling other
code that isn't GC aware (i.e. all of it) or use pointers in interesting
ways, etc. Has this changed?
I don't know if it changed. I never had the need
to use GC in C++.
Smart pointers, i.e. proper RAIIed ref counting, was suitable for my
needs up to now. But C++11 introduced a garbage collection ABI. There
is a paragraph about this in Stroustrups C++11 FAQ:
