I realize it's a pretty hard problem - and hadn't java already demonstrated the feasibility of it, I would have doubted it to be possible at all without major surgery to both language and runtime (special scoped types etc). So I guess my question is: is there something about C# or .NET that makes it much harder to do escape analysis than it is in Java world?
An evil example is
class Something
{
private static readonly Something _inst;
public Something()
{
_inst = this;
}
}
