That's why I phrased my sentence as a question---or at least tried to.
In the context of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/69036, I would like to
see who holds a reference to the DatabaseContext that gets closed. It
is my understanding that (because we have reference-counting garbage
collection), dispose() should actually be called as soon as nobody
holds a reference to it anymore (unless we have a reference cycle).
First, note that we don't have reference-counting garbage collection in
general in UNO. For example, Java-UNO doesn't use reference-counting.
Second, note that there needs to be code (the "owner" in the jargon of
the udkapi/com/sun/star/lang/XComponent.idl documentation) that
explicitly calls dispose on a UNO object. It is not magically called
when a UNO object becomes unreachable.
