Description

Interface for a garbage collector.

When a heap is destroyed, its managing memory is implicitly freed. However, the destructors of objects are never explicitly called when this happens. To solve this, heaps have a linked list for classes that can opt-in for explicit destruction.

To opt a class in for memory management, privately inherit this class.
