Garbage Collection in C++

[globos]

Hi all,

Can someone tell me about the best garbage collectors for C++? Are they easy to use(as simple as Java)?

Thanks

I dont know of any... unless you use auto_ptr which cleans up any pointers it used to have when it is reset to a new pointer.

Globos, interesting... could you explain the requirements for your project that necessitate a garbage collection system.

There is no particular requirements.
I use to build software in Java and Eiffel, and the project I am working on need to be built in C++. So I do not want to bother managing the lifecycle of objects in C++.
That's just why I am asking if anyone already used a GC in C++, and if he can share his experience in using GCs.
Particulary I want to know if there are limits in using a GC in C++.
