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 may be linked against either of these, and should run (with
GC or leak detection) without change. C++ programs must include a header
to use garbage collection, though leak detection should work without
such source code modifications. See the man page and header files.
This package only brings Boehm-GC libraries with threading support.
ps: garbage collection is addictive.
===> The following configuration options are available for boehm-gc-threaded-8.2.10:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
PARALLEL_MARK=off: Parallel-thread marking (faster for SMP)
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Fix WWW in parent/child ports
Many of the WWW are overwritten later which means the wrong value
is used. This did not happen before where the children were either
a) just using the pkg-descr from the parents
b) or had their own separate pkg-descr with custom WWW
Use WWW?= in parents when the child's WWW is different.
Children that use the same WWW as the parent can just inherit it,
i.e., the child WWW can be removed.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

- Return my ports back to the pool. I was unable to make any fixes to
my ports in the past 3 weeks while ports were broken on any 10.x
machines, which means I'm unable to maintain them. So let people know
that there's no available support for them until things are back to
normal (which also means that anyone with spare time will be able
to fix them without getting approval).
Remove USE_GNOME=gnometarget from ports. It has been a empty keyword since
mid 2008.

- Add port for boehm-gc garbage collector variant with threads support.
This port will install only shared libraries with threads support enabled,
that will allow for easy dependency handling for ports that required libgc
build with specific features and will allow to avoid hacks of building own
version of libgc library.
