Walter Bright:
Where are the benchmarks that show that this is a good idea in
some real situations? This is the essential first step.
If a class contains the following methods, in either itself or
a base class, it is
an RC class:
T AddRef();
T Release();
What if a programmer adds only one of those two? Currently if you
add only part of the hashing protocol (or you bork a function
signature) the compiler often gives no errors.
What are the plans for coalescing and optimizing away some
reference counts updates?
