    If you've broken code it really doesn't matter which programming language was used to write that code.


    I think you misunderstood what the original poster was pointing out. I believe he was complaining about the trouble that is caused by the manual memory management in C++. He was pointing out that had the program been written in Java, he wouldn't have to waste his time dicking around with memory management. (This really more than a C++ vs Java issue. This is a general memory management issue. Java doesn't have the monopoly on memory management. See products like Great Circle for C++ alternatives.)


    In C++ you have to take care of freeing memory, That is by design and if you can't handle it...


    Well where I come we don't need any of your fancy 'new's and 'deletes'. Hell! we don't need luxeries like mice or keyboards and GUIs either. Those are for the WEAK. We just set the memory manually using toggle switches. An not those new fangled debounced toggles either, I'm talking about good ole fashioned toggle switches - the kind that click when ya' flip 'em! Sure it takes a little bit longer to code and debug, but that is by design and if you can't handle it you should use another language.

    The site is no longer slashdotted and check outable now.

    Their Analyzer product order page shows a drop down for Linux, Solaris and WIndows 2000. My guess would be they have a port already.

  4. Re:If you can afford it, move to Java by AlphaHelix · · Score: 1 · on What Debugger Is Best For Multithreaded Apps?

    Instrumenting code debuggers suck for tracking down memory leaks. They're slow, and innacurate. Try Great Circle from Geodesic Systems instead. It's a full featured debugging and deployment garbage collector for C/C++ based on the Boehm collector, that can be integrated with only a relink. It's pretty nifty. DISCLAIMER: I used to work for Geodesic Systems, but I no longer do, nor do I have any stake in the company, except some friends.

  5. Commercial garbage collection for C and C++ by Nick+Barnes · · Score: 1 · on Review:Garbage Collection

    I work for Geodesic Systems. We sell a drop-in memory management product called "Great Circle" which includes garbage collection for C and C++ and has a web interface.
