===GObject=== The [[GObject]] object-oriented programming framework implements reference counting on its base types, including [[weak reference]]s. Reference incrementing and decrementing uses [[atomic operation]]s for thread safety. A significant amount of the work in writing bindings to GObject from high-level languages lies in adapting GObject reference counting to work with the language's own memory management system. The [[Vala (programming language)|Vala programming language]] uses GObject reference counting as its primary garbage collection system, along with copy-heavy string handling.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/ReferenceHandling |title=Projects/Vala/ReferenceHandling - GNOME Wiki! |publisher=GNOME |date=2015-05-25 |access-date=2015-12-17}}</ref>
