How about banning GC-allocation of classes with
destructors?
Uh... what? ^__^
Maybe just ban classes altogether then?
No, don't ban them, that will break to much code. Just don't
execute
them. Any application that depends on destructors being
called by the GC
is broken in 9 out of 10 cases anyway.
This is very wrong.
This is as per spec :)
No, spec says your dtor is not guaranteed to run for
unreferenced memory. It doesn't say your destructor may not be
run even when the memory is collected. In fact, it says "The
garbage collector calls the destructor function when the object
is deleted."
But my real point is that depending on dtors being called by
the GC is not broken 90% of the time.

If the program ends before the next GC the destructor is never
called.
