Re: A re-announce on GC's defects

Hello Born,

B> GC is really garbage itself
B> B> Reason 1:
B> B> There is delay between the wanted destruction and the actual
B> destruction.
B> B> Negative effects by the destruction delay:
B> B> 1) Efficiency issue

Does it really bad? :) It only depends on your app context. If it doesnt meets your requirement welcome back to unmanaged world with manually memmory management

B> 2) Logic issue
B> B> The need for weak reference makes the destruction delay logically
B> incorrect.

Caching is the logically incorrect too?

B> The only problem with this approach is cyclic
B> reference. However, even if not theoretically proven, the problem
B> generally can be solved by replacing some strong references with weak
B> references.

But it's logically incorrect, as mentioned before :)

B> I believe the restriction by GC is one of the main reasons why in
B> some field (the gaming industry, for example), java or C# is rarely
B> used in serious products who face real computing challenges.

lol
What does the "serious product" and "real computing challenge" mean for your?

The FPS? :)

BTW, last DX samples are in C#. The real challenge of C# and game industry is performance.
In 2 - 3 years it will be solved


B> Solution
B> B> 1) The ideal solution is to convince the language providers to give
B> us back the ability of managing memory by our own. GC can still be
B> there, and it becomes a real addictive in that situation.

Nobody prohibits u to use C++
