One of the things that steers me away from Borland Pascal is its lack of a runtime garbage collector.
Does GNU Pascal have a runtime garbage collector?
No. To All: perhaps something can be done here ? Boehm's GC will work just fine with GPC in simple cases but if you'll try to use strings or some other complex structures it'll be less great :-/ In C++ it's done with "class's new" but I know of no such mechanism in GPC ... At least low-level allocation functions needed (now many bytes GC should allocate to put this structure there? how really put it there?)... AFAIK something was done for shared-memory access and can be used for GC as well but I'm not remember details (is it documented somewhere?)...
