Hi,


Pike basically uses a reference counting garbage collector,
supplemented by more or less traditional mark-sweep collector to catch
circular structures. There is also support for weak references.

There are a few large comment blocks in the file "src/gc.c" in the
Pike source code which you can read for more details about exactly how
Pike's garbage collection works. You can, for example, get the source
code from:
