I was going to say that you could implement a garbage
collector in/for Rust, but first I checked if there was a
crate for one, and sure enough, there is: <a
href="https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-gc/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-gc/</a> for
those occasions when you really need a garbage collector. It’s
in development, but looks pretty usable.</div>

This isn't a issue that can be solved by a garbage collector which
are notoriously for having <br>
these leaks but something like a unsafe mode with something similar
to weak_ptr in C++.<br>
<br>
<br>
Not sure what the unsafe Rust implementation would would do but its
a outstanding<br>
issue if you assume that memory has a non circular owner,<br>
