Re: TDD and WeakReferences

Hi Rick.  When I was testing my weak references (I'm assuming you're 
testing to make sure they're garbage collected correctly), I just had 
the objects increment a counter when created and decrement when 
destroyed, and would check the counter value (a class variable).

If you can't control garbage collection in your environment, you may 
need to use a separate test suite/program to check the memory allocated 
for that process before and after the test... which might be kind of 
tricky.

(sorry if this is too obvious and of no help)
