[sv-ec] RE: [sv-cc] FW: a question about system verilog class deconstructor

Joao,

What a great wikipedia reference.  Thanks!
This new information makes the issues a bit clearer to me.

One take on it would be:

a) For garbage collection and implicit control, go with the
   finalizer concept. Though, there are those limitations
   and bad properties mentioned in the WikiPedia entry.

b) For users who want to use an explicit control strategy,
   (i.e. call cleanup code and then assign to null),
   users could avoid declaring finalizer methods and go
   with explicit cleanup methods instead.

Regards,
Doug
