Oracle sues Google over use of Java in Android (ars technica)Oracle sues Google over use of Java in Android (ars technica)Posted Aug 15, 2010 10:53 UTC (Sun) by alextingle (subscriber, #20593)In reply to: Oracle sues Google over use of Java in Android (ars technica) by mikov Parent article: Oracle sues Google over use of Java in Android (ars technica)
"precise garbage collection" is a contradiction in terms, at least when applied to Java-style GC.
C++'s garbage collection is *precise* -- objects are destroyed when they go out of scope. In Java, you never know when you're going to get your memory back.

Precise as opposed to a conservative gc like Boehm's.
C++ destructors are not gc.
