Me, too. I'm stuck at the same point. I wanted to try to add reference counting so that finalizers can be called deterministically. This wouldn't work for cycles. The GC would still have to call finalizers in that case. Also, the GC would still be responsible for managing memory. I'd just like to know that, in the absence of cycles, my finalizers will be called as soon as the last reference is released.
I'd still like to try to do that research (especially the performance impacts). I'd rather not have to build a linux box just to build mono. If you get an answer, please post it. I would also appreciate getting an answer, too. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
