Garbage Collection for Cocoa?
Garbage Collection for Cocoa?

I've been idly wondering whether it would be possible to get garbage
collection in Objective C.
The Boehm-Demers-Weiser collector (used by GCJ, d2c, &c) seems quite
stable on Mac OS X these days, so hopefully it would just be a matter
of slotting GC_malloc into appropriate places in the ObjC runtime...
Does anyone know where I should start? Override +alloc for NSObject
maybe? Or even lower -- somehow replace NSAllocateObject? Or lower
still -- actually replace the system malloc?
Are there any obvious pitfalls awaiting me here?
Thanks for any help/advice/pearls of wisdom,
Keith
