[Mono-list] Embeding Mono. Memory management

[Alexander Smirnov]

yes, I know that t frees them, when no other managed reference is pointing. 

But right after I create a string using: MonoString* str=mono_string_new (domain, "some text"); 
no managed references point to this string because MonoString* str is not a manged reference. 
So can GC delete "str" right after mono_string_new? 

thanks for your help
