Hello McCulley, sorry I missed your answer. > Does the current standard provide for automatic deallocation such that one need never instantiate Unchecked_Deallocation? The standard provide a host of containers and pointer-like constructs that would indeed allow you to never use Unchecked_Deallocation. There's one caveat: Performance. > Without a garbage collector, who deallocates graphs of objects with circular references? Like in other languages where you rely on ref-counting, you need to use weak references for that. This requires a bit more explicitness from the programmer.
