So zeroing values will inform the GC the reference has gone?
yes.
Thanks, i just wanted to make it clear in my mind.
Just to be crystal clear, zeroing values in that range will make the GC
able to collect the memory that those values previously pointed at.
However, you have to remove the range in order for the GC to ignore that
data. In other words, if you zero that memory, the GC will continue to
scan those zeros until you GC.removeRange it.
