GC是.net中的线程吗

Question

Garbage Collection is a daemon thread in java.
I have a great confusion, Is Garbage Collection also a thread in Dot net ??

Answer 1

The garbage collector isn't "a thread" in either .NET or Java. On both platforms another thread is (or possibly multiple threads are) used by the garbage collector - to run finalizers on, for example. The actual garbage collection could be executed on separate threads, too. But that doesn't mean that the garbage collector is a daemon thread, any more than a web server is a thread.

(If you were just wanting to know whether the garbage collector in .NET required at least one thread in addition to any threads that your application creates, the answer is yes... but you need to be clear in your mind about what exactly you're interested in.)
