The latter contains libatomic_ops-1.2, which is developed inside boehm-gc, as stated on libatomic_ops homepage. No change on -main subpackage. libatomic_ops may be used by a future eventual pulseaudio port, which is being worked on. Feedback, tweaks and ok kurt@

The Boehm-Weiser garbage collection package, for C and C++ -
|
|
garbage collection and memory leak detection libraries.
|
|
|
|
A garbage collector is something which automatically frees malloc'd
|
|
memory for you by working out what parts of memory your program
|
|
no longer has pointers to. As a result, garbage collectors can also
|
|
inform you of memory leaks (if they find memory they can free, it means
|
|
you have lost all of your pointers to it, but you didn't free it).
|
|
|
|
C programs should run without change. C++ programs must include a header
|
|
to use garbage collection. See the man page and header files.
