Team,

Table 11-1 "Comparison of pointer and handle types" specifies for SV chandle
that "unreferenced objects are garbage collected".

I suppose that this is an error.
This statement seems to contradict 26.4.1.4 "Memory management".

Objects referenced to by chandles are allocated in a memory space that is
beyond the control of SV. They cannot be garbage collected.

Thanks,
Andrzej
