GC
     
        1. {garbage collection}.
     
        2. A storage allocator with {garbage collection} by
        Hans-J. Boehm and Alan J. Demers.  Gc is a plug-in replacement
        for {C}'s {malloc}.  Since the collector does not require
        {pointers} to be tagged, it does not attempt to ensure that
        all inaccessible storage is reclaimed.
