Unlike other languages, however, C++ does not support automatic memory management or any kind of garbage collection. It's been helpful for me in revealing errors in deallocating memory in the wrong place when dealing with class inheritance and dynamic binding, for instance. When I wrote a garbage collector for a toy project, I used the twospace algorithm for its simplicity. Back to basics: Series on dynamic memory management. Another case where people confuse the mechanism with the goal. (Similarly, malloc is not perfect either and has its issues, with multiple implementations available with different characteristics. A computer's memory storage and management is also handled by the operating system. JavaScript is a garbage collected language, which means developers generally don't have to worry about memory management, unlike lower level programming languages. Perhaps this was a decent reaction to the memory management of C, but as a whole, in general purpose languages, garbage collection is more of a detriment than a benefit. There are several methods to deal with the lack of automated resource management, is not a fail-safe method for memory management. It is merely a tool that can assist in debugging it. Furthermore, the simplified model requires hiding the true nature of memory making it more difficult to implement certain inter-process and concurrent programming algorithms. Further, the selection of garbage collectors practically available to most people is additionally limited to a subset of garbage collection algorithms that are in fact implemented.
