[Ironruby-core] Adding a finalizer to a ruby object

[Tomas Matousek]

We don’t support finalizers yet, but it shouldn’t be too much work to make ObjectSpace#define_finalizer work with Ruby objects. We might also consider providing some means to override CLR Finalize method.

Ivan, I'm not sure but I've asked the rest of the team and someone will get back to you shortly.

I specifically wanted to find a counterpart for this C#

public class SomeClass {

   private object _unmanagedResource;

   public SomeClass(object unmanagedResource){
     _unmanagedResource = unmanagedResource;
   }

  ~SomeClass(){
    _unmanagedResource.Cleanup();
    _unmanagedResource = null;
  }
}

I was writing about the dispose pattern and wanted to include a full counterpart implementation with a finalizer for unmanaged resources.

What about using a proc, or block and running finalize after yield or
proc.call?
