Still needs some tidying, but the following work: - __strong pointers, preventing objects from being freed _ __weak pointers are automatically freed when the last remaining __strong pointer goes away - objc_gc_{retain,release}_np() functions, which can be used to implement CFRetain() and CFRelease() (adds an reference count - the object will not be collected until after its last retain is gone.	15 years ago

First pass at implementing Apple-compatible GC using Boehm. Still needs some tidying, but the following work:

- __strong pointers, preventing objects from being freed

_ __weak pointers are automatically freed when the last remaining __strong pointer goes away

- objc_gc_{retain,release}_np() functions, which can be used to implement CFRetain() and CFRelease() (adds an reference count - the object will not be collected until after its last retain is gone.
