I haven't heard anybody around here propose the path to an acceptable
solution.
It's perpetually in the too-hard basket, hence we still have the same GC
as
forever and it's going nowhere.
What do you propose?
ARC. I've been here years now, and I see absolutely no evidence that the GC
is ever going to improve. I can trust ARC, it's predictable, I can control
it.
Also, proper support for avoiding the GC without severe inconvenience as
constantly keeps coming up. But I don't think there's any debate on that
one. Everyone seems to agree.
just a question:
how should ref count locking be done - only for shared?
all non shared pointers don't need to be thread-safe - or?
