| 20090006506 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION OF NATIVE RESOURCES - A system and method for enabling automatic and fast garbage collection of native resources. Native code of mixed-language components is directed to perform dynamic allocation of native entities (such as objects, structures, etc.) through a Native Entity Factory (NEF) component instead of using low-level native language operators. Using the NEF component enables tracing dynamic native entity allocations, and driving a virtual machine garbage collector component based on native-heap activity. | 01-01-2009 |
