Abstract
Memory reclamation with optimistic concurrency is described. In one example an allocated memory object is tentatively freed in a software transactional memory, the object having pointers into it from at least one transaction. A time when all transactions that are outstanding at the time an object is tentatively freed have ended is detected, and the object is actually freed based on the detection.
