Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management Rafael D Lins, Richard Jones
Publisher: Wiley

Memory management and garbage collection in Flash Player is a well debated topic. Another case where people confuse the mechanism with the goal. Automatic memory management, also known as automatic garbage collection, is the practice of allowing the language implementation to keep track of used and unused memory, freeing the programmer from this burden. When I wrote a garbage collector for a toy project, I used the twospace algorithm for its simplicity. From a user's perspective, newLISP's memory management works just like garbage collection in other scripting languages: memory gets allocated automatically and unused memory gets recycled. Another justification of the heap is that many algorithms are unable to perform their tasks without the need of a variable sized array or object, and thus require special allocations at run-time. Java classes can have a finalize function. Some think that the Flash player's references to your object. A computer's memory storage and management is also handled by the operating system.

In languages without automatic memory management, the In contrast, C++ programmers manually specify where an object with dynamic extent is to be reclaimed by coding a delete statement. The second is when the developer has partial control , with self-managing units of memory such as lists in LISP or pseudo-managed objects in Objective-C. Flex will take care of any auto bindings created with the [Bindable] meta data. Back to basics: Series on dynamic memory management. Dynamic scoping style seems not to be a disadvantage when using the language, as long as you divide your code into context modules.
