One could argue that using a GC for reclamation isn't lock-free if it's not a concurrent GC.

- hayley-patton 5y agoThere are very few GCs that are actually lock-free. While uncooperative mutators cannot block other mutators in an on-the-fly collector, for example, the collector is blocked until all mutators cooperate. Nonetheless I'd guess that a sufficiently concurrent collector is good enough.
