[xmlvm-dev] WeakReference

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

Hello all!

I've found that the current ObjC implementation of WeakReference had a serious memory management problem.
To solve this issue was not easy, but I managed to create a trick to get over it.
The solution is found in SVN commit 2181

Now, I know that the ObjC backend is practically obsolete.
The solution though is more or less  generic and has to do with deallocation of objects outside the scope of the garbage collector.
So I thought I should share this knowledge with you, in order for the C backend to be as accurate and memory consistent as the ObjC backend.
