Uses and Ports
The Boehm GC is used by many projects that are implemented in C or C++, as well as by runtime environments for a number of other languages, including the GNU Compiler for Java runtime environment, the Portable.NET project, Embeddable Common Lisp, the Mono implementation of the Microsoft .NET platform (also using precise compacting GC since version 2.8), and libgc-d (a binding to libgc for the D programming language, used primarily in the MCI). It supports numerous operating systems, including many Unix variants (such as Mac OS X) and Microsoft Windows, and provides a number of advanced features including incremental collection, parallel collection and a variety of finalizer semantics.

Famous quotes containing the word ports:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
