Hello everyone

I am looking for a piece of advice and / or experiece. When dealing with hundred 
of objects with complex relationships, it is very hard to be sure that the code 
doesn't have any memory leakage.
What about a gargabe collector? Even Bjarne Stroustrup thinks it is a good idea. 
I am aware of the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector (gc). Does anyone tried 
it, plugged it in her/his C++ classes and cen give a feedback of the results?
I found some articles at the Boehm-Demers-Weiser web page but no "real life 
experience". For large projects, and for physicists as users, I think that ROOT 
can have a lot of benefits using one.

Cheers
