simulate class destructor

simulate class destructor

[Pietro Abate]

hi all,

Is it possible to simulate class destructor, that is convince Gc to call
a method before deallocating the object ? I'd like to take a closer look
at what's happening in my program to check if everything works at it
should... I've a NodeCounter module with a counter that increase every
time I create a new object, now I'd like to decrement the counter when
the object is de-allocated. Impossible ?

:)
