I've heard from some people that garbage collection is the reason Android scrolling is never quite as smooth as an iPhone. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, I'd rather just manage my own memory. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. Header files are more of a pain to me than memory management is.
- stcredzero 16y agoIt's really easy once you get the hang of it. You are 100% with memory management? The problem is not the 99.99% of the time when you do it right. It's the other time when you do it wrong, and debugging that. Have you actually tracked the time/effort? Can you quantify what memory leaks are costing your project?
- pkulak 16y agoI'm not saying that it's easy, or that it doesn't take any time or effort. But if garbage collection makes your app scroll like crap, then the effort is probably worth it, don't you think?
- stcredzero 16y agoThat's a pretty naive assumption about the uniformity of GC performance across all implementations and algorithms.
