Does GNUstep support Garbage Collection? Does it works well?What if I want to used a GCed - GNUstep to port a Mac application to windows.Would the retain/release be disregarded and be taken over by the GC?Finally how does the reference couting work and when does the collection occurs?
Most of this is answered here:http://gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/ ProgrammingManual/manual_3.html#SEC49
Note, however, a quick look at the source shows that the macros mentioned here are unneeded -- if GNUstep is compiled with GC, - retain and -release impls are #ifdef'd out.
Also, there has been rumbling in the past that the combination of Boehm-GC / ObjC / GNUstep does not operate 100% reliably.. I have no personal experience in this area, but you might dig around in archives to find more.
(I thought from the subject line this was a question about GNUstep on the Zaurus.. ;)
