Yes When I can see my message when I run my GC.start().So When does the 
garbage collector comes into play?.When we call them or isn't it 
automatic after each object declaration it will always come for 
cleaning.

But can't I see the message when I am running a program of my own.

Secondly how does the make command do interpret the gc.c file into 
*.ext?Is there any mechanism?.
