And which book is that? edit: I'm guessing "The Garbage Collection handbook", by Richard Jones et al. Looks like an interesting read.

- seanmcdirmid 13y agoI have the earlier blue bound cover book (just called "Garbage Collection"). The book you are referring to is brand new and I haven't looked at it yet, but given that the first authors are the same, it should be good.
- silentbicycle 13y agoI've had and enjoyed both. The latter has less about the fundamentals, but adds chapters on real-time GCs, concurrent GCs, and other advanced material. (Most of whose research probably came out after the first edition.) If you're interested in GCs, I would suggest getting the newer edition for advanced material, and deferring to freely available papers such as Wilson's "Uniprocessor Garbage Collection Techniques" for fundamentals.
