audio-garbage-collector

Batteries included solution to using reference counted values on the audio-thread.

Wraps basedrop so that smart pointers are dropped on a background thread. Exposes a default global GC thread and helpers to create pointers attached to it.

Collection frequency

Collection is based on polling the queue. If references are created and dropped very frequently this will not be adequate.

Batteries included solution to using reference counted values on the audio-thread.

Wraps basedrop so that smart pointers are dropped on a background thread. Exposes a default global GC thread and helpers to create pointers attached to it.

Collection frequency

Collection is based on polling the queue every 100ms by default.

If references are created and dropped very frequently this strategy is not adequate. This also adds some small overhead.
