I'm having a memory leak in JScript. I'm looking for
background information on the JScript garbage collection
algorithm, implementation, etc before I go blindly
hacking at my code to find the leak.

Does any such documentation exist for the public?

Thanks Henri. That's a lot of information, much of which
I hadn't seen yet. Although there's a ton of information
on how I can use JScript, I'm still having a difficult
time finding out how IE uses my JScript.

In particular, I'm looking for information on the memory
management such as:

What type of GC algorithm is used (e.g. mark-sweep, ref
counting, etc)?

When does GC run, and can it be invoked manually? With
diagnostics?

Where does one go to find these types of implementation
details??
