If I intentionally use circular references, and as a result get the GC note on application close, am I doing something that the internal Roku runtime is going to choke on at a certain point?
I have a core data payload that lives for the duration of the application - these records are never deleted once loaded, and they are cross linked. So an example is that a movie can point to several episodes (children), an episode can point to a movie (parent), so even on a one to one movie to episode pair, this creates a circular reference. I could just store the IDs then deference the reassociatedarray, but it seemed more efficient to run those deref's in a single pass on startup than multiple times during user interaction.
I know this could start a whole discussion of best practices, pre linking vs as needed linking, that all relational databases are by definition circular unless normalized, etc. But my question is simply is the message just informative, or a warning that it can upset, interfere with, fragment, or even corrupt the GC or app environment.
