Are circular references never destroyed and garbage collected? In Aaron's nice little intro to 2007r2 (http://www.rblibrary.com/rblibrary/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=81), he mentions the dangers of circular references stopping objects from being destroyed (and the use of WeakRef to get around it.)
Let's look at an example: EggCarton object contains 12 Egg objects (as properties) Each Egg contains a reference to the parent EggCarton If my program creates and destroys EggCartons containing Eggs, will I 'leak' memory unless I use WeakRef? (Assume only the EggCarton references Eggs.) Will the Easter Bunny be mad at my Egg Factory? _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
