Re: memory leak or not?

Willy,

Everyone knows by now that Jon is right when he said "an instance of a
type
CAN get GC'd BEFORE the reference, pointing to this instance, leaves it's
lexicaly-enclosing method scope".

But nobody including me has denied that, as well not Marina, who he was
correcting with his message.

Cor,

Everyone knows by now that Jon is right when he said "an instance of a
type
CAN get GC'd BEFORE the reference, pointing to this instance, leaves it's
lexicaly-enclosing method scope".
So please, let this thread die if you can agree with this, else start a
new
thread in which you explain why you think this is not the case.

Willy.
