Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcc
GCC has two variants of its Objective-C runtime library, one garbage
collected (libobjc_gc) one not (libobjc). Only the non-garbage collected
variant is packaged in Ubuntu.
The combination of directly linking to c code, flexible smalltalk based
object messaging system, and modern garbage collection which can exceed
the performance of manual memory management make Objective-C an
extremely appealing and exciting language to work in. But the last piece
--garbage collection--is not available in Ubuntu.
Please create a new gcc package for libobjc_gc. Thanks.
** Affects: gcc-defaults (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
