Can i use Apples garbage collector on non cocoa programs?

Question

Apple provides it's own garbage collector implementation since 10.5.

I heared it is a conservative GC so i wonder if i can replace the Boehm-Weisser garbage collector in my pure C program. I'm using Boehm's GC for 7 years but it really lacks functionality when it comes to threads and using apples thread pool (aka Grand Central Dispatch) is impossible.

So how language dependent on Cocoa/Objective C is the garbage collector?

来自WWDC视频的苹果公司表示，libAuto（ http://opensource.apple.com/source/libauto/libauto-180/ ）与语言无关，因此几乎可以与任何语言一起使用。
