Implementing Java ReferenceQueue and PhantomReference in C#

Read Original

This technical article details an attempt to recreate Java's ReferenceQueue and PhantomReference mechanisms in C# to enable cleanup of native resources after garbage collection. It walks through a sample implementation, identifies a critical flaw where the phantom reference itself is tracked instead of the target object, and discusses the need for an 'inverted WeakReference' in .NET.
