Greetings,
To go back on the main subject, it came to my attention that Apple is
using mostly "Automatic Reference Counting" since 2011:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Reference_Counting
The good news is it's not using the GC which makes the OS hangs once in
a while but the bad news is it still suffers from cyclic references
which I don't think is acceptable for the software industry nowadays.
This means the Apple OS leaks.
root_ptr clearly stands apart, hands down. I just did my research
regarding all aspects, objectively, in order to mold the best memory
manager ever and I welcome any objection. I am also glad the
boost::fast_pool_allocator does such a great job in the user space.
Regards,
-Phil
