Re: Manually prompting garbage collection

Kyle Lanclos wrote:
I want to modify the above sequence to manually prompt Python's garbage
collection routine(s) to take over (performance is not an issue here),
similar to the following:

Py_XDECREF (some_callback) ;
PyCollect_Garba ge ();
closeService (some_service);
return;

Is that possible?
what magic do you expect the "manual garbage collection" to do here that
the DECREF doesn't already do?

Hi, My question is.. if Lisp, a 40 year old language supports garbage collection, why didn't the authors of C++ choose garbage collection for this language? Are there fundamental reasons behind this? Is it because C is generally a 'low level' language and they didn't want garbage collection to creep into C++ and ruin everything? Just wondering :)

I would need to make some high-reliability software running on Linux in an embedded system. Performance (or lack of it) is not an issue, reliability is. The piece of software is rather simple, probably a few hundred lines of code in Python. There is a need to interact with network using the socket module, and then probably a need to do something hardware- related which will get its own driver written in C.

Hello: We are considering developing a time critical system in C#. Our tool used in Semiconductor production and we need to be able to take meaurements at precise 10.0 ms intervals( 1000 measurement exactly 10 ms apart. In the future this may decrease to 5ms ). I am concerned that if garbage collection invokes during this time it may interfere with our measurement results. I have looked over the garbage collection mechanism and see no...

For some reason it appears that garbage collection is releasing an object that I'm still using. The object is declared in a module and instantiated within a class that is in turn instantiated by the mainline. The class that instantiated the object in question is definitely still in existence at the point garbage collection swoops in and yanks it out from under my processing. Is there a way to ensure an instantiated object cannot be freed...

I've done a lot of web searching, a fair bit of C-source reading, and quite a lot of miscellaneous head scratching, and I find that I am not necessarily closer to an ideal solution. I have a Python/C interface layer that essentially does the following: Py_XDECREF (some_callback); closeService (some_service); return;

Fredrik Lundh wrote: The DECREF decrements the reference count, but does not immediately prompt garbage collection when the reference count drops to zero; that garbage collection does not appear to occur until I return from the particular C function I am in the middle of executing. Ideally, I want to explicitly prompt garbage collection in the middle of a C function, without first returning to the larger Python interpreter.

Hi all, Is garbage collection possible in C++. It doesn't come as part of language support. Is there any specific reason for the same due to the way the language is designed. Or it is discouraged due to some specific reason. If someone can give inputs on the same, it will be of great help. Regards, Pushpa

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
