Mechanisms for identifying and protecting global variables in dynamic libraries from garbage collection.
Distinct from Dynamic Library Loading: Distinct from Dynamic Library Loading: focuses on identifying memory roots within loaded libraries rather than the loading process itself.

This project is a garbage collection library and memory allocator for C and C++ that provides automatic reclamation of unreachable objects. It functions as a memory management system that can replace standard allocation functions to automate memory reclamation without requiring source modification. The system is distinguished by its ability to perform incremental and generational garbage collection to reduce application pauses, as well as parallel collection to distribute tracing across multiple CPU cores. It includes a specialized string manipulation library that uses shared structures to en
Registers data sections of loaded libraries as root pointers to prevent the premature reclamation of global variables.
