[xmlvm-users] Mixing GC code with Objective-C code

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

I'm experimenting using XMLVM to compile business logic, which I then
use inside a Cocoa GUI app - built with Xcode.  I am trying to get an
understanding of the implications of XMLVM's garbage collected
pointers used together with objective-c objects.

This page <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/simple_example.html>
says:
"It is usually best not to mix garbage-collected allocation with the
system malloc-free. If you do, you need to be careful not to store
pointers to the garbage-collected heap in memory allocated with the
system malloc."

Does this mean that I shouldn't be storing JAVA_OBJECTs as properties
of objective-c classes?  Are there any best practices that should be
followed here?

Thanks for any tips.
