Garbage Collector in Real-Time System

Question

I'm new to C#/Java and plan to prototype it for soft real-time system.

If I wrote C#/Java app just like how I do in C++ in terms of memory management, that is, I explicitly "delete" the objects that I no longer use, then would the app still be affected by garbage collector? If so, how does it affect my app?

Sorry if this sounds like an obvious answer, but being new, I want to be thorough.

Answer 1

Take a look at IBM's Metronome, their garbage collector for hard real-time systems.
