dotnet-gc-memory

Garbage collection and memory management for .NET applications. Covers GC modes (workstation vs server, concurrent vs non-concurrent), Large Object Heap (LOH) and Pinned Object Heap (POH), generational tuning (Gen0/1/2), memory pressure notifications, deep Span/Memory ownership patterns beyond basics, buffer pooling with ArrayPool and MemoryPool, weak references, finalizers vs IDisposable, and memory profiling with dotMemory and PerfView.

Scope

• GC modes (workstation vs server, concurrent vs non-concurrent)
