Sorry if this is not an appropriate question for the list, but... does the garbage collector reclaim cells that are accessible only through a fulfilled promise?
for instance, if val p:int list promise = promise() future p is satisfied, and the list referenced by p is not otherwise accessible, will the list be garbage collected? (corollary 1: if i have an "ever growing" list, only the last few cells of which are ever accessible, but where the entire list is referenced by a fulfilled promise, do i have a memory leak? corollary 2: should an illustration show p referencing its future after p is fulfilled?) thanks for any help. ---fred _______________________________________________ alice-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/mailman/listinfo/alice-users
