You may be interested in the downgrade() method on Rc/Arc along with the Weak pointers (they allow cycles, but also allow for destruction). > So I’m thinking about adding per-task arenas that can be freed once the task > completes. It looks like it’s possible, but not implemented yet. There is some initial support in libarena [1] you may find useful (specifically the TypedArena) > Additionally, RC boxes are not sendable - is there an easy way to ‘upgrade’ > an object graph to ARCs and then send it? At this time, you'll have to initially create everything as an Arc, you can't upgrade from an Rc to an Arc (totally separate) Hope that help!
