It makes clone.t loop. Here is a better one. It simple skips the magic dance during global destruction. That means that unproxied shared objects that are around at global destruction time will not have their destructors fired, but it’s still better than what we had before. I cannot see how to make this work during global destruction. It’s circular refs that are the problem. I don’t know how to detect those without leaking memory in the PL_sharedsv_space.Thread Previous | Thread Next
