Not true.
Can you be more specific? Maybe the wording was too strong.
Should say "you shouldn't access GC controlled memory in class
destructors."
Or are you thinking of some specific case? Because the
opposite of the above is DEFINITELY not true. I just want to
make that clear.
Last time I checked, destructors were called separately from
deallocation. Thus, referencing memory will not result in
undefined behavior. The order of destruction is
non-deterministic, but otherwise, it's the same as accessing a
clear()'d object, which is perfectly safe (from a memory safety
perspective).
