Abstract
In object-oriented languages (e.g., LISP, Simula, and CLU), all (or most) data objects used by a program are implicitly allocated from a free-storage area and are accessed via fixed-size references. The storage for an object is automatically reclaimed (garbage collected) when the object is no longer accessible to the program.
