The Boehm-Weiser garbage collection package, for C and C++ -
garbage collection and memory leak detection libraries.
A garbage collector is something which automatically frees malloc'd
memory for you by working out what parts of memory your program
no longer has pointers to. As a result, garbage collectors can also
inform you of memory leaks (if they find memory they can free, it means
you have lost all of your pointers to it, but you didn't free it).
C programs may be linked against either of these, and should run (with
GC or leak detection) without change. C++ programs must include a header
to use garbage collection, though leak detection should work without
such source code modifications. See the man page and header files.
This package only brings Boehm-GC libraries with malloc redirection.
ps: garbage collection is addictive.

(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
- Return my ports back to the pool. I was unable to make any fixes to
my ports in the past 3 weeks while ports were broken on any 10.x
machines, which means I'm unable to maintain them. So let people know
that there's no available support for them until things are back to
normal (which also means that anyone with spare time will be able
to fix them without getting approval).
Remove USE_GNOME=gnometarget from ports. It has been a empty keyword since
mid 2008.
PR: ports/159624
Submitted by: Ruslan Mahmatkhanov <cvs-src@yandex.ru>
- Add port for boehm-gc garbage collector variant with malloc redirection.
This port will install only shared libraries with malloc redirection enabled,
that will allow for easy dependency handling for ports that required libgc
build with specific features and will allow to avoid hacks of building own
version of libgc library.
