What type of experience do you have with gcc C/C++ code and garbage
collectors.  Jeff, being a major gcc developer, is making me nervous
here.

I want to use a garbage collator to improve development time and avoid
memory leeks.  However, it won't be worth it to me if I have to spend
most of my time tracking down errors due to pointer unsafety.
