Except it does not. "Solve" that is.
It helps, yes it does
But as I have learnt the hard way (silly way too, to be truthful) GC will not help unless you actually delete all references to the unused memory
Perhaps GC have developed magic moo cow properties in the twenty five years since I made that discovery, but I think the point remains
GC is very helpful, but it does not stop resource leaks
