Garbage Collector

Introduction:

Garbage Collector implemented using Reference Counting Algorithm. The algorithm selected can easily be implemented upon the existing C++ dynamic allocation system. for more information about the algorithm, please refer to this wikipedia link.

Installation:

1. Clone the repository using command git clone https://github.com/abdoei/Udacity_Cpp_nanodegree.git.

Project Execution:

1. Compile GarbageCollector.cpp file by executing command g++ -o main main.cpp.
2. Execute command ./main.
3. Results should now be displayed on the screen.

Screenshots:

• Memory Leakage Result:

Project TODO List:

• Complete Pointer constructor
• Complete Pointer operator==
• Complete Pointer destructor
• Complete PtrDetails class
• Implement a pooling mechanism for PtrDetails objects
