| Adding Reference Counting to the SSCLI | | Moving to a garbage-collected environment in the Common Language Runtime has, for the most part, made memory leaks a problem of the past. However, the lack of deterministic finalization implied by the garbage collection scheme makes management of non-memory resources more difficult. The C++ community has found that the "resource acquisition is initialization" [1] idiom is very effective in managing those resources that need to be freed as soon as possible.
