This allows applications to not worry about creating direct or indirect circular references; these are the weakness of garbage collection implemented using only reference counting. Reference cycles consist of objects which contain (possibly indirect) references -themselves so that each object in the cycle has a reference count +to themselves, so that each object in the cycle has a reference count which is non-zero. Typical reference counting implementations are not -able to reclaim the memory beloning to any objects in a reference +able to reclaim the memory belonging to any objects in a reference cycle, or referenced from the objects in the cycle, even though there are no further references to the cycle itself. |
