Object Lifetime and Null Handles: SystemVerilog vs C++/Java
SystemVerilog vs C++/Java for Object Lifetime and Null Handles.
SystemVerilog vs C++/Java
C++ often turns this bug into a wild pointer or use-after-free, which can corrupt memory before crashing. Java always throws a NullPointerException on dereference, closer to SV null-handle behavior, but Java GC removes manual delete lifetime mistakes common in C++ testbench code.
