[Mono-devel-list] HasShutdownStarted race?

[Thomas Harning Jr.]

I don't think any finalizers will be called until references are
dealt with, so a class that has references to A and B will be
finalized and cleared before A and B are freed.

A good way to handle this is the "Dispose" pattern.
If you must have finalizers run, its likely to be for cleaning
resources, which Dispose helps handle deterministically and in the
case where Dispose isn't called, the destructor deals with it but
only handles unmanaged resources (which you have to set it up like
that).
Look up the MS Docs about "Dispose" and how to implement it.
