Comparing Two Garbage Collectors for C++
I came across this paper and since we discussed adding GC libraries to C++ the other day I decided to link it in.

Skimming, it seems this paper also introduces the basic GC terminology.

Perhaps this paper is more to the point:

We propose adding safe, efficient garbage collection to C++, eliminating the possibility of storage-management bugs and making the design of complex, object-oriented systems much easier. This can be accomplished with almost no change to the language itself and only small changes to existing implementations, while retaining compatibility with existing class libraries.

Also check this paper if you want to learn more about smart pointers.
