Most of the C++ programmers do not benefit from "Garbage Collection"
technique (GC). They are sick of deleting objects but have to do this.
There are some C/C++ memory GC implementations, but they are complex
and are not widely used.

I am going to introduce a new memory management technique named "GC
Allocator". "GC Allocator" isn't an implementation, but a concept.
Now, we have two "GC Allocator" implementations, named "AutoFreeAlloc"
and "ScopeAlloc".

This article consists of three parts:

   1. What is GC Allocator?
   2. GC Allocator implementations: ScopeAlloc and AutoFreeAlloc
   3. Applications based on GC Allocator
