Question about garbage collector

[TheVinhLuong]

Are instances returned by a factory eligible for garbage collection? And how about singleton?

[escamoteur]

GetIt doeesn't keep any referenes to Objects created by Factories.

It has to keep references to Singletons to be able to access them though. Howver you can dispose them manually. By calling unregister you can free a Singleton and even pass a disposing function.

@escamoteur The resetLazySingleton works the same that unregister discarding the Singleton?

[escamoteur]

yep, reset also frees the existing instance

[kmartins]

Ok, so in the question of performance, I can use registerLazySingleton with resetLazySingleton without problems? Or it would be better always use unregister?

[escamoteur]

with LazySingletons you can always just use reset unless you want to remove the registrataion which would lead to an exception on the next access if you don't reregister it. Performance difference is not the point.
