There are three ways to add garbage collection to an object:

1) inherit from gc_object<T>. 2) wrap your class in gc_wrapper<T>. 3) allocate your object with new(T_deleter)..

But you should modify your pointers to be gc_ptr<T> instances for this to work.

So, comparing your framework to C++/CLI: - new(T_deleter) is like gcnew - gc_ptr<T> is like T^ - inheriting from gc_object<T> is like declaring a class as being a ref class

Is that right?

Indeed.
