DESTROYING AN OBJECT BASED ON THE SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS PERFORMED Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G06F9/50 G06F12/02 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of information technology. A device that destroys objects in a reference-counted environment of a given device contains a processor and memory storing: a list of object destroying from object references to be destroyed; and a sequence of actions for destroying an object, performed by the processor on behalf of the first thread, which, in response to the release of the last reference to the object accessed by the first thread, attempts to destroy the object, and in response to failure to destroy the object, adds a new object reference to object destruction list as the last object reference; and in response to identifying for the object the last object reference added to the object destruction list by the second thread, releases the last object reference.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of destruction of an object by threads in order to return the computational resources used by the object, based on a sequence of actions that allows threads to coordinate and interact to perform complete destruction of the object.
